Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare Breading: In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; the second with beaten eggs; and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with ranch seasoning.
- Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken tender first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake: Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Toss in Sauce: In a large bowl, toss the cooked tenders with buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Serve with additional ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
