Forget Drive-Thru! Make Restaurant-Style Chicken Tenders at Home

Why go out when you can make delicious, crispy chicken tenders at home? Let's get started!

Prep the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 355°F (180ºC). Cut 2 pounds of chicken breasts into 1-inch thick slices. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix the Breading

In a bowl, combine panko, regular breadcrumbs, shredded Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Set Up Your  Breading Station

Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with the breadcrumb mixture.

Bread the Chicken

Dip each chicken slice first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it well in the breadcrumb mixture.

Bake to Perfection

Arrange the tenders on a baking tray. A light spray of oil adds to the golden crunch. Bake for 12-15 minutes until perfection.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the tenders cool for a minute. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like mayo mustard or BBQ sauce.

Pro Tips

Swap chicken breasts with thighs for juicier tenders. Don't overcrowd the baking tray to ensure even crispiness.

Enjoy Your Masterpiece

Dig into the juiciest, crunchiest chicken tenders around. Say goodbye to dry chicken and hello to a family favorite that’s perfect for dipping and sharing.
