Easy Baked Chicken Tenders Recipe

7.5.19 First, I have to say that there’s no way that this chicken needs to be cooked for 14 minutes @ 450ºF and then another 2 minutes under the broiler. It’s cut into 1/2-inch strips, and when checked after 7 minutes, it was done (I checked with a meat thermometer). They were crispy golden brown and there was no need to put them under the broiler. The breading is very tasty, the cooking time just needs to be adjusted, and I think you’ll be happy (we were). Served this evening with honey mustard dipping sauce, and they were a hit! As a side note, this recipe could be easily adapted to an air fryer. Thanks for sharing your recipe, I will make this again.

My family loves these! I've made this recipe four times now and I've refined a few things. 1) I roll the chicken strips in plain flour before putting them in the egg wash. This helps the egg stick and I find you get better coating with this method. 2) I wasn't keen on the idea of hosing down everything with cooking spray so instead I used a silicone brush and gently brushed olive oil on each piece. They've turned out better and better each time!

This is a good starter recipe, and so easy for how good they taste. They are great as is and my husband loves them dipped in BBQ sauce. I used this recipe as a spring board to make these gluten free for my son’s family. I use GF panko and homemade gluten free seasoned bread crumbs so I don’t need to add the extra seasonings. I make them in large batches, freeze them individually and then bag them so you can pull out how ever many you want at a time. I am always alerted when their supply starts to dwindle!

Recipe was spot on but I added 1/2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper, used my dual air fryer @ 400°F & baked for 12min (6min per side) and then broiled for 2min. The poulet tenders came out crispy, spicy & tasty. Thanx!

There are way too many steps, so I did the following to simplify: 1.Beat egg and melted butter and pour into baggie; add chicken and mix. If there is too much liquid, you will need to strain. 2.Mix all dry ingredients into another bag and add chicken. Toss to coat all pieces. 3.Air fry 1/2 in a single layer at 400 degrees for 9 minutes (no need to flip). Check temp of chicken; should be 165. I served it with homemade ranch dressing and coleslaw. I will definitely make this again, though I did make the mistake of following someone's suggestion to decrease the garlic powder.

Made this with gluten free Panko bread crumbs. Added a 1/2 stick of melted unsalted butter to the Panko mix bag and this was delicious.

Great recipe! Easy and delicious! I used corn flakes and butter crackers and crumbed them with my rolling pin. Air fried until they're 165 degrees. My husband NEVER heats up food a second time but he did these!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. This was fast and simple to do. I don't like fixing fried chicken as it's so many dishes and so much mess to clean up afterward. This was a great alternative to frying. I cut the chicken into squares instead of strips and made nuggets. I used crisco to grease the foil pan, and then brushed on vegetable oil and it worked just fine. I didn't have to use the broiler on them at the finish as the color was already golden and they looked fine. These were nice and had a garlicky taste but it wasn't too strong. It isn't the same as fried chicken though, so these aren't a substitute as the flavor doesn't come out identical, but these nuggets were tasty and I'd not hesitate to fix this again. As the title suggests these are easy.

I love how crispy these chicken tenders turn out using the panko bread crumbs. I baked these in the air fryer at 400° for maybe 8-10 minutes.

I like the simplicity of the recipe. Personally, I think paprika is the least understood of all the spice. It's subtle. I added grated pecorino romano to the breading mix (a trick learned from my mother-in-law). Next time I will add a little cayenne. Oh! Most important, the temp is too high for thinner strips. The tenders I bought were almost a third of a breast. The higher temp worked ok for this.

I used different seasonings and crushed buttery rounds instead of used bread crumbs, I also used parchment paper and baked each side for 8 minutes each, and broiled for the remaining 4 minutes and oh my goodness, the best Chicken tenders I've ever had!!! Very very delicious and so easy to make!

Did not need the broiler step.

What a waste of chicken expensive.All came out floury, very tasteless, and lost most of the coating Never again taste better fried

Excellent recipe. I followed it exactly and it was awesome . I am a picky 73 year old disabled veteran and believe me... not easy to please... Thank you. Rowdy Church

I didn't add as much paprika, I added only half. Otherwise, great! I would totally make it again.

Delicious, and easy. Great fast dinner recipe!

Perfect for busy weeknights.

With this recipe the ‘fast food’ kind pale in comparison!

I love this recipe! It was very easy to follow and definitely worth the effort. The chicken came out very tender and crispy without going under the broiler. I cooked it for 7 minutes, turned it and after 3 more minutes it was 170 degrees. Just be careful and check the chicken carefully.

Tasty but next time I'll cut back a little on the garlic powder. Just me. And I finally got my chicken tenders crunchy! So this will be my go to chicken tender recipe. I did set oven at 400° and baked for 20 minutes. Then I put the broiler on Lo and chicken in for 2 minutes. Yum! Thank you for this recipe!
