Crispy Panko Chicken Tenders | Baked Chicken Tenders Ingredients
(Serves 4 to 6)
1 1/2 cups panko
olive oil spray
1.5 - 2 lbs chicken thighs
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Baked Chicken Tenders Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spread panko across sheet pan, and spray lightly with olive oil spray, then gently mix. Bake for 4 - 5 minutes until golden brown.

Cut the chicken thighs into strips or smaller pieces, as desired. You can also use chicken breasts cut into strips, but I like to use chicken thighs because they stay moist and tender.

Whisk the egg, add 1 tablespoon of water and mix. Add the 2 tablespoons of flour and mix to combine into a paste. Add mayonnaise and mustard and stir to mix. Add salt and pepper and stir to incorporate.

Dip the chicken pieces into the flour mixture, and coat on all sides. Place the chicken into the panko and toss the crumbs to coat the chicken. Press down on the panko to help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken. Place the panko crusted chicken onto a rack placed atop a sheet pan and sprayed lightly with olive oil.

Bake the panko chicken tenders for about 15 minutes, or until done. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Serve these baked chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce - ranch, honey mustard, bbq or ketchup!! The mayo/mustard paste mixture helps secure the panko to the chicken, and pre-toasting the panko helps give these baked chicken tenders a beautiful golden crunchy coating your whole family will love!
