TRULY CRISPY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS AND HOMEMADE MAC 'N CHEESE


Breadcrumbs

  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

  • Oil spray


Batter

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard

  • 2 tbsp flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Black pepper


Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins

  • Oil spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C/390F.

  • Spread panko on a baking tray, spray with oil (spray vertically to avoid blowing the panko off the tray), then bake for 3 to 5 minutes until light golden. Transfer to bowl.

  • Place a rack on a baking tray (not critical but bakes more evenly).

  • Place the Batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.

  • Add the chicken into the Batter and toss to coat.

Crumbing

  • Pick up chicken with tongs and place it into the panko bowl.

  • Sprinkle surface with breadcrumbs, then press down to adhere. Transfer onto baking tray. Marvel at clean fingers, repeat with remaining chicken.

  • Spray lightly with oil, sprinkle with a touch of salt (optional). Bake 15 minutes (medium) or up to 20 minutes if gigantic. Any longer = dried out chicken.

  • Remove from oven and serve immediately, with Sauce of choice (Honey Mustard pictured, see Note 2) and sprinkled with fresh parsley, if desired.
