Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Frank Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cups buffalo wings sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • While the oven preheats set up your dredging station by placing the flour in a small dish, then beat the eggs in a separate bowl along with the milk, Worchestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Finally, add the panko and salt to a final swallow dish.
  • Bread your chicken tenders by first coating them in flour, while shaking off any excess, then dip them in the egg wash, once again letting any excess drip off, finally roll them in the panko breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the breaded chicken tenders on a baking pan and place them in the oven. Let them bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • Add your buffalo wing sauce to a large bowl, then add the baked chicken tenders and toss to coat with sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ranch or Blue cheese dressing are great condiments to serve with this meal.
You can eliminate the hot sauce from the egg wash if you want a more mild flavor.
Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper will ensure the breading doesn't stick, otherwise you can use cooking spray.
