Easy enough for weeknight dinners, you'll make these chicken tenders often. Using a dark colored pan ensures the perfect crisp that everyone loves and the breading is full of wonderful flavor.
2 eggs
2/3 c. buttermilk
1 c. white flour
⅔ c. grated Parmesan cheese
4 T. breadcrumbs
1 t. baking powder
1 T. salt
2-3 t. garlic powder
1 t. ground paprika
1 t. onion powder
1/2 t. ground black pepper
2 lb. chicken tenders
1/3 c. butter
Preheat oven to 410°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, baking powder and seasonings together.
Place a dark-colored roasting pan or baking tray in the oven to heat up.
Dip chicken pieces in the flour mix, coating evenly and shaking off any extra flour;
coat chicken in egg mixture; dip chicken into flour again, coating very well.
Remove baking pan/tray from oven; melt the butter on it. Place the coated chicken pieces on it.
Bake for 10-12 minutes; flip; bake for another 5-10 minutes, depending on how thick the chicken pieces are. Finish by broiling the chicken until it turns golden brown and crispy.
