Description

These Crispy Crack Chicken Tenders are a family favorite, featuring a crunchy exterior and juicy, tender chicken, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • Fresh or dried herbs (Italian seasoning or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare chicken by slicing it into strips, about an inch wide.
  2. Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each chicken strip in flour, dip it in egg wash, and roll it in breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for extra crunch.
  5. Bake the chicken strips for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
