Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken breasts — To ensure juicy and tender chicken tenders, avoid overcooking the chicken. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) for perfectly cooked chicken.
- Breadcrumbs — For extra flavor, you can use seasoned breadcrumbs or add additional herbs and spices to the breadcrumb mixture.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the chicken tenders in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
- To save time, you can prepare the chicken tenders in advance and freeze them. Just thaw and bake when ready to serve.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
- Serve the Homestyle Crispy Chicken Tenders with a side of coleslaw and french fries for a complete meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Homestyle Crispy Chicken Tenders as a main course alongside your favorite dipping sauces. They are perfect for family dinners, game nights, or casual gatherings.
Presentation advice
