Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenders
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat eggs. Place panko in a third bowl.
Dredge each chicken tender in flour mixture, then dip in egg, and coat with panko. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
In a large bowl, whisk hot sauce and melted butter. Add baked tenders and toss to coat.
Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Tips

For extra crispiness, spray tenders with cooking spray before baking.
Adjust hot sauce amount to your spice preference.
Leftovers can be reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
