Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Cereal Crunch Technique 🥣
    Crush corn flakes very finely and evenly for a uniform, extra-crispy coating that adheres perfectly to the chicken tenders.
  • Gluten-Free Flour Trick 🌾
    Sift the gluten-free flour before coating to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, even breading that won't fall off during cooking.
  • Egg Wash Secret 🥚
    Add a tablespoon of water to your beaten egg to create a lighter, more effective binding layer for the breading.
  • Baking Spray Hack 🧴
    Use a wire rack on your baking sheet and spray both the rack and tenders with canola oil to achieve maximum crispiness on all sides.
  • Temperature Precision 🌡️
    Ensure chicken tenders reach an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety while maintaining maximum juiciness.
