Spicy Panko Chicken Tenders

these chicken tenders are mildly spicy, unless you're British, in which case they will make you perish. serves 2-3 people.

Ingredients
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • chicken strips cut from one chicken breast
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 and 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp siracha sauce
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs

1. preheat oven to 400°F. line baking sheet with foil and put a rack over it. spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. if you don't have a rack, you can just spray the foil and bake directly on the tray.

2. place flour in a small bowl. in another bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and siracha sauce until fully mixed. put panko bread crumbs into a plastic bag.

3. one at a time, roll chicken strips in flour, then dredge in the batter, and then drop into the bag to shake a bunch for an even coating. transfer tenders to baking rack. if some of the breadcrumbs don't stick well, add more on top and press down once they're on the rack.

4. bake for 18-22 minutes, turning the tenders halfway through baking. serve warm, immediately after finishing.
