How to cook deliciously - Baked Chicken Tenders
1. Stage
First, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a shallow bowl, combine the egg, mustard and minced garlic with a whisk. In another shallow bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, basil, paprika, salt and pepper.
2. Stage
Dip each chicken tender fully into the egg mixture, shake off the excess, then coat the chicken in the bread crumbs. While the tender is in the bread crumbs, gently press the crumbs into the chicken. This will help the breading stick and ensure it’s even over the whole tender. Transfer the tenders to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Test Kitchen Tip: To up the crunchiness of your tenders, give them a quick spritz of cooking spray on each side before they go in the oven.
3. Stage
After all the chicken tenders have been breaded, bake them in your preheated oven until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink and has reached 165°, 10 to 15 minutes. Test Kitchen Tip: You may need to flip your chicken tenders around the halfway mark to prevent one side from browning too much. If you check and notice deep browning, gently flip each tender, trying not to move or squeeze it too much.
