Everything Bagel Chicken Tenders
Description
This recipe features chicken tenderloins coated in an everything bagel seasoning blend combined with panko for an extra crunchy crust. The tenders are dipped in an egg wash before coating and baked at 400°F until cooked through and crispy. The seasoning mix provides savory, oniony, and sesame notes that mimic the flavors of a classic everything bagel.
The dipping sauce blends Dijon mustard, maple syrup, sriracha, salt, and pepper to create a balanced sweet-spicy condiment that complements the tenders’ savory coating. Baking instead of frying keeps the tenders less greasy while maintaining crunch.
These tenders can be served as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal accompanied by vegetables, salad, or fries. The recipe yields a deliciously seasoned chicken option with a convenient baking method and a flavorful sauce for dipping.
