Baked Chicken Tenders

One of DJ’s current favorite foods is chicken nuggets. I decided that I wanted to find a way to make them from home. Well, I made baked chicken tenders instead of chicken nuggets. There wasn’t really any good reason for it. Honestly, I just happened to buy pre chopped up chicken breast. I decided to leave the chicken in whatever shape it was chopped into when I bought it. You could always make this recipe into nuggets by cutting the chicken breast into a nugget shape. This recipe is really versatile. You could honestly fry the nuggets in a pan with oil if you wanted. This is a very easy recipe, and perfect if you’re like me when it comes to cooking.

I always start by rinsing the chicken with lemon juice and water. This is a step I’m sure most people skip, but I always do it. After that I prep my ingredients for making the chicken tenders. I put a bowl of seasoned flour. I used salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Another bowl has a mixture of eggs and milk. The third has the breadcrumbs. When I say bowls, I really mean random Tupperware containers.

Once I have everything prepped I coat the chicken. I do flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumbs. After the chicken is coated, I place them in a pan. I used an aluminum disposable one, but I also really like this set.

I bake the chicken in a 350 degree oven. I bake for 35 minutes, flip them, and then bake for another 35 minutes. Obviously, I would check the inside of one of them to make sure they’re cooked all the way through. I ate mine with a sauce that was a mixture of ketchup, mayo, and minced garlic. DJ ate his with plain ketchup, and Brooklyn ate hers plain.
