Want to Learn How to Make These Baked Chicken Tenders That The Whole Family Will Love? Potato Chips Add That Perfect Salty Crisp To Your Breading .
My family loves chicken, and especially my baked chicken tenders. Instead of buying frozen chicken tenders, try your hand at making these chicken tenders with leftover potato chip crumbs. The potato chips add a great crunch to the crust and best of all there is no waste.
Save Your Potato Chip Crumbs & Use Them For Baking ChickenÂ
Do you want to know how to make sure that your chicken tender breading sticks on the chicken? My nerdy secret is that I take some parchment paper and after breading the chicken, roll with a rolling pin. What rolling your breading into the chicken tenders before baking them does it pushes all that flavor into the meat.
With a Few Ingredients This Dinner Comes Together in 30 MinutesÂ
I love to take shortcuts in the kitchen whenever possible, so this dinner is definitely a time saver. Sheet pan meals are my favorite because they are super easy to clean and so very veristile in the kitchen.
Take out a sheet pan, line it with parchment paper then place a wire rack on top. Next take your chicken tenders and season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. Using a rolling pin, roll and smash the potato chips in their bag until about the size of panko breading.
Now take out a few pieces of parchment paper for the chicken, lay one piece down, and then top chicken with potato chips. Take your rolling pin and using the other piece of parchment paper, press the chips into the chicken. Lay each piece of potato coated chicken on your sheet pan evenly and bake at 375F for 25 minutes.
