Chicken Tenders

  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Place cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and spray with non-stick spray or olive oil spray and set aside.

  • Start by sprinkling the salt and pepper over the chicken tenders. Coat a chicken tender in the flour mixture and shake off excess. Dip in the egg mixture on all sides and then coat the chicken with the crushed chips. Add to baking sheet and repeat for remaining chicken tenders. 
  • Bake chicken tenders for 20 minutes.
