Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup of your favorite breakfast cereal (crushed)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (more to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: In the first, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In the second, whisk together the eggs. In the third, crush the cereal into small pieces and place it in the dish.
- Dip each chicken tender first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the eggs, and finally into the crushed cereal, pressing gently to adhere the cereal to the chicken.
- Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to aid in crisping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the outside. You can flip them halfway through for an even crispy texture.
- While the chicken is baking, heat the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the tenders are ready, toss them in the buffalo sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
Serve your cereal-crusted buffalo chicken tenders with your favorite sides, such as celery sticks and blue cheese dressing, for that classic touch! Enjoy this flavorful dish that will surely become a staple in your household.
