Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top of the baking sheet. Spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Crush the cornflakes in a large baggie, or use a food processor to process until crumbly.
- Set up the dredging station: you’ll need 3 shallow dishes. Combine the flour and seasonings in the first dish, whisk the eggs and water together in the second, and cornflakes in the third.
- Place the chicken tender in the flour first, flipping from side to side to coat. Then place in the egg wash, then place in the cornflakes. Be sure to coat both sides and gently press cornflakes onto chicken to adhere.
- Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Make the dipping sauce while the chicken bakes: whisk together all ingredients in a medium sized bowl until smooth.
- Serve chicken with the sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Serve as an appetizer or turn it into a meal with your favorite sides.
- Add different seasonings to the flour if you prefer: add onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, etc.
- Remove the white tendon attached to the chicken tenderloin if you'd like. Sometimes it's chewy and unpleasant but if it doesn't bother you, skip this step!
