Oven Fried Chicken Tenders
Description
While fried chicken tenders are certainly a drive-thru family favorite, we love our homemade oven chicken tenders recipe even better. It has been a go-to recipe for households for over 15 years. These baked chicken tenders are simply breaded with our not-so-secret ingredient, panko bread crumbs, which make them extra-crispy and bake to that golden brown perfection. Hearty enough to enjoy as the main course for a meal, these delicious tenders also make for a delicious snack.

- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup Progresso™ Plain Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs

- Favorite dipping sauce, if desired
