Deliciously Crispy Chicken Tenders

These chicken tenders are marinated in avocado oil and seasoned to perfection, resulting in a dish that’s both crispy and succulent. The mild flavor of the avocado oil complements the chicken beautifully, making each bite a delightful experience.

Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenders
• 1/4 cup avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken tenders and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Coat the Chicken: In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing excess oil to drip off. Dredge each tender in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.
4. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
5. Serve: Let the chicken tenders cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauces!
