Oven Fried Chicken Tenders

This has to be the best baked chicken recipe I have ever found. The panko stayed crispy and did not stick to the racks in the air fryer. The chicken was moist and tender like it had been deep fried. Two thumbs up on this one!!👍👍

1 3/4 cups Panko breadcrumbs

Oil spray

Batter

1 egg

1 Tbl Miracle Whip salad dressing.

2 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp salt

Black pepper

Chicken

1 lb chicken tenderloins (or chicken breast cut into 1 inch strips)

Oil spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 390º

Place the Batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork until combined. Dip chicken into batter with your left hand.

Pick up a piece of chicken with your left hand and place it into the Panko bowl.

Use your right hand to sprinkle some bread crumbs onto one end of the chicken, then pick up that end of the chicken and turn it over. Pat down gently to press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken, then transfer onto baking tray.

Repeat with remaining chicken.

Spray lightly with oil. Bake for 10 minutes (if small) - 15 minutes (medium to large).

Remove from oven and serve immediately.
This recipe works great in an air fryer oven. Bakes the same amount of time on center rack.
