Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use panko for extra crunch!)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Set up a breading station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure they adhere well.
- Place the breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle melted butter or olive oil over the top to help them get crispy and golden.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
- While the tenders are baking, mix the buffalo sauce and additional melted butter in a bowl. Once the chicken is done, toss it in the buffalo sauce until coated.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, celery sticks, or carrots on the side.
