spicy Baked chicken Tenders
Great as an appetizer or main dish.   I've never seen the appeal of chicken wings - these are better.
Ingredients
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon water
1 & 1/2 pounds of uncooked boneless, skinless chicken tenders
salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce or 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
​(You can adjust the spicy "kick" to your liking.)
Steps
  1. You'll need 2 plates and a small bowl.
  2. Gently beat the egg and hot sauce in the bowl with a fork.
  3. Place bread crumbs in one plate.
  4. Place flour and cayenne pepper in another plate.
  5. Rinse chicken tenders and pat dry.  Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
  6. Dip chicken in this order:  first flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.  Gently shake excess off.
  7. Place coated chicken on a wire rack and put that on a cookie sheet for baking.  OR -  if you don't have a rack, just place chicken on a greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake in a 450° F oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked all the way through.  (I test one or two to see.  You can use a thermometer and check for 165° F heat.)
  9. Serve with ranch dressing or salsa!
