RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place butter in 9x13-inch baking dish and let melt in the preheating oven.
• Slice chicken breast against the grain into thin strips.
• Place ranch dressing mix in a small bowl. Whisk egg and milk together in a second bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.
• Dredge each chicken strip in ranch dressing mix, then coat in egg mixture and cover with bread crumbs; arrange in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Gently turn chicken pieces over and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes longer.
• Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

{OVEN-BAKED} RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• In a large zippered bag, pour in ranch dressing and milk. Add in all 12 chicken tenders, zip up the bag (squeezing out all excess air), and shake or massage the bag until all tenders are coated with ranch dressing. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees and line a large baking dish with foil (9x13 or 9x11 dish). Drizzle 2 Tbsp of oil over the bottom of the pan.
• In a large zippered bag, add Bisquick, RawSpiceBar paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add marinated chicken tenders into the bag, zip up, and shake until all tenders are coated.
• Place chicken flat in the baking dish, making sure none of the tenders are touching each other. Drizzle 2 Tbsp of oil over the tops of the chicken.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes (or until the underside of the chicken is golden brown), then carefully flip the chicken over, and bake for another 9-10 minutes.
• Serve with extra ranch, barbecue sauce, or any other sauce if desired.
• Enjoy!

EASY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Place egg in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top freezer bag and mix well. Dip 2 chicken strips into egg and then place into bread crumb mixture and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Spray each chicken tender with cooking spray 2 times.
• Bake tenders in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; flip, continue to bake on opposite side until no longer pink in the centers, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil tenders in the preheated oven for extra crunch, about 2 minutes more.

CRISPY ONION CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• CRUSH Crispy Fried Onions with flour in plastic bag.
• DIP chicken tenders into egg; coat in onion crumbs.
• BAKE 15 min. at 400 °F until chicken is cooked.

OVEN BAKED ONION RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Set oven to 400° F with rack in lowest position.
• Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch or larger foil lined baking sheet.
• Place the fried onions in a shallow bowl and crush them until they are about the size of your panko bread crumbs. I used an absorbant paper towel to crush them to remove some of the excess oil.
• Add the panko, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the crushed onions and mix together.
• Dip the chicken into the ranch to coat and allow excess to drip off.
• Coat in the onion and panko mixture.
• Place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet. Do not use a smaller baking sheet to prevent soggy chicken coating.
• Bake uncovered for 7 minutes turn and cook until done. Usually another 7 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the tenderloins. This will take longer if you use full size chicken breast.

OVEN BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or silpat if you have it).
• Place the Cheez-it's in a zip-lock baggie and give it to your kid to play catch, touch football, whatever. Smack the back a few times with a rolling pin... get the cheese-it's crushed, but don't worry if there are some larger pieces. Pour into a shallow bowl or plate.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the water. Whisk together until combined well. (something else your child can do!).
• Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then roll around in the crushed Cheez-it's (kids love this part!)
• Place on the cookie sheet, continue until all the chicken is coated.
• Lightly spray all coated chicken with the cooking spray.
• Bake at 350°F about 15 -20 minutes (start checking the smaller ones after 10 minutes. I always pull them out as they get cooked through so that the smallest isn't incinerated by the time the largest piece is done cooking).
