Everything Bagel Baked Chicken Tenders
Description
This recipe starts with preparing the coating by mixing panko breadcrumbs and Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning inside a sealed bag. Large chicken tenders are first lightly coated with beaten egg, then placed in the seasoning bag and tossed to evenly coat with the flavorful crumb mixture. The coated tenders are arranged on a foil-lined baking sheet and baked at 400°F, flipping once to crisp both sides.
The result is chicken tenders with a crunchy, savory crust highlighted by the sesame, poppy seeds, and onion-garlic notes typical of the Everything Bagel seasoning blend. The bake method avoids frying, reducing oil use while still achieving texture. Serving with ranch or another favorite dipping sauce complements the crisp coating and tender meat.
The chicken keep well refrigerated for up to 5 days and freeze well, although reheated tenders may lose some crispness. This recipe suits casual meals or appetizers where an easy, flavorful protein is desired.
Ingredients
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning
- 1 egg large
- 1 to 1.25 pounds chicken tenders boneless skinless
- ranch dressing blue cheese dressing, ketchup, etc. for serving if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
- To a large ziptop storage bag add the panko, everything bagel seasoning, and stir to combine; set bag aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the egg, lightly beat it with a fork, add the chicken, and toss and flip chicken with the fork so all pieces are coated evenly.
- Remove chicken from the bowl using the fork (discard excess egg), drop it into the plastic bag, seal bag, and toss and shake bag to evenly coat the chicken.
- Place chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced. If there is excess panko in the bag, use your fingers to push it onto the chicken in sparsely coated areas.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, flip midway through to ensure even cooking. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or dressig if desired. Chicken will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months, noting that reheated chicken will not retain it’s crispiness.
