Prepare the Chicken Tenders:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten
eggs, and
breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dip each chicken tender first in flour, then in beaten
eggs, and finally coat with the
breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated
chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Chicken Tenders:
Bake the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine and Serve:
Toss the baked
chicken tenders in the
honey garlic sauce until they are well coated.
Serve the
Honey Garlic
Chicken Tenders hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips
For Extra Crispiness: You can double-dip the
chicken tenders in the egg and breadcrumb mixture for an extra crispy coating.
Sauce Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce for a spicy kick.
Serving Suggestions: These tenders pair well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
