Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pour oil (1/4 cup) onto rimmed baking sheet and spread around so it coats the center- no need to go all the way to the edges. You want it to be a thick coating.
- Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Make sure it's evenly coated on the chicken by using your hands to mix it together, or stirring thoroughly with a spoon.
- Beat the two eggs well with the 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Put the flour (3/4 cup) in another shallow bowl.
- Coat one chicken tender in the egg, then dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, coat again in the egg and dredge again in the flour.
- Add the chicken tender to the prepared baking pan, pressing down to coat the bottom in the oil. Then, flip it over, so the top is covered in oil.
- Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees. Flip each chicken tender, being careful to remove each with a spatula thoroughly so you don't lose any batter. Bake for another 10 minutes.
- Season lightly with a little bit more salt and pepper right after they come out of the oven.
- Serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce, like this five-minute avocado sauce.
Notes
- Money Saving Tip: You can use chicken thighs instead of breast cutlets if you want- just cut them lengthwise into thin pieces.
- Time Saving Tip: I recommend buying chicken breast tenders already cut so you don't have to spend time doing it yourself.
- You can add herbs, breadcrumbs, or parmesan cheese to the flour mixture, spices or hot sauce to the egg mixture... this recipe is very basic and can be modified easily!
