Notes
- To cut chicken breast into tenders,
- slice against the grain and create strips of equal length and thickness.
- Lightly toast the breadcrumbs in a dry pan for the crunchiest coating.
- Press the chicken when coating with breadcrumbs to help the mixture adhere to the chicken.
- Spray the chicken lightly with oil for a golden-brown crust. If you skip this step, the chicken will still be crunchy and flavorful.
- Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Chicken should reach 165F/74C before removing it from the oven.
