METHOD
Why It Works
Baking delivers crisp results without frying.
Quick Fixes
Not crispy enough: Make sure the oven is fully preheated to 425°F and the tenders aren't touching on the pan — crowding causes steam.
Coating falling off: Pat chicken dry before dipping in egg. Press breadcrumbs firmly onto each piece.

How to Make It
1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
2
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Season both with salt and pepper.
3
Dip each chicken tender in the egg, letting excess drip off, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides evenly.
4
Place the coated tenders on the wire rack. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
5
Bake for 18–20 minutes until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Serve immediately.
Store
Store in airtight container up to 3 days.
Reheat
Reheat in oven to remain crisp.
