Down Home Chicken Tenders

I’m not typically a fan of friend chicken so these baked tenders really work for me!

TIPS: Choose Frank’s Red Hot or Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. 🔥

Down Home Chicken Tenders Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders
• 4 cups corn flakes
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup 2% milk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 Tbsp hot sauce (optional, but I highly recommend – I find this recipe bland without it)
• 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) spray

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425^◦ F.
2. Cover a baking pan with foil and spray lightly with EVOO.
3. In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs.
4. Add 1/2 cup 2% milk and 2 Tbsp hot sauce (if using), then whisk to combine.
5. Pour milk mixture onto a shallow plate and set aside.
6. In a gallon size Ziplock bag, add 4 cups corn flakes, then seal and *pound* until coarse crumbs form then set aside. I use my French rolling pin to apply rolling pressure to crumble ingredients together.
7. In a small ramekin, mix together 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp onion powder.
8. Add 1 tsp spice mixture to corn flake crumbs bag and toss together.
9. Pour crumb mixture onto a shallow plate.
10. Season 1 1/4 lbs chicken tenders with remaining 1 tsp spice mixture.
11. Dip each tender into the milk mixture, then allow excess to quickly drip off.
12. Roll each tender in crumb mixture until well-coated.
13. Place each coated tender on baking pan, spaced evenly, in a single layer.
14. Spray tenders moderately with EVOO.
15. Bake 15 mins, until chicken is 165^◦ F.
16. Sprinkle tenders evenly with 1 Tbsp parsley then plate.
17. Drizzle 1/4 cup honey evenly over tenders then serve.
