Everything Seasoning Chicken Tenders
Description
The recipe starts with cutting chicken into uniform strips to ensure even cooking. A creamy coating of eggs combined with mayonnaise, flour, and spices including onion and garlic powders, kosher salt, and smoked paprika helps the crumbs adhere well and adds moisture. The panko breadcrumbs are mixed with everything bagel seasoning, lending a savory mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt that forms a crunchy, aromatic crust.
Baking at 450°F crisps the exterior quickly while keeping the chicken tender and juicy inside. Flipping the tenders halfway through ensures even browning. Allowing them to rest five minutes after baking helps the juices redistribute for a moist bite. This method avoids deep frying yet yields a crisp texture and complex savory flavor.
These chicken tenders can be served with dipping sauces and work well for family meals or casual gatherings. The use of everything bagel seasoning differentiates this recipe with a distinct flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or chicken tenderloin pieces
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt coarse
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut each piece of chicken into chicken strips about 2/3 of an inch thick. Try to make pieces uniform size so they cook evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, mayonnaise, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and paprika until it makes a creamy paste.
- In a separate shallow dish or dredging pan, combine the panko and everything seasoning.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the mayonnaise mixture and then the panko breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken and tapping off the excess. Place the chicken onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken strips.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Remove and flip each piece of chicken. Return to the oven for another 7 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
