Notes
Preparing these oven-baked chicken tenders involves setting up an assembly line for coating the chicken efficiently. Start by slicing the chicken into even strips to ensure they cook uniformly. Dip each piece into the egg wash, followed by a generous coating in the seasoned breadcrumb mix. This method helps the coating adhere better and ensures each tender is thoroughly covered for maximum crispiness.
