Oven-baked Chicken Tender Recipe …or do you call them chicken fingers?

How To Make This Chicken Tenders Recipe

Buy white chicken breasts already cut into strips, or buy breasts and cut them yourself, just make
sure to cut them into reasonably uniform sizes so that they will cook evenly.

  • In a bowl, season the chicken strips generously, and set aside. If you’re just getting into home cooking and don’t have a lot of seasoning choices, you can check out current pricing for a
    Complete Starter Spice Set on Amazon.
  • In a skillet, melt butter and then turn the stove burner off.
  • Add panko breadcrumbs to the butter and mix well. The breadcrumbs will quickly soak up the butter like it was never there.
  • Break eggs into a bowl and whisk.
  • In another bowl, add flour. Season the flour. Seasoning the flour and the chicken and adding the butter to the breadcrumbs all combine to make these oven baked tenders so awesome.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil and lightly coat with oil.
  • Take a chicken strip and dredge it in the flour, then coat it in the egg, and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until the chicken strip is well breaded.
  • Place the chicken strip onto the lightly oiled pan and repeat until all of the chicken strips have been prepared.
  • The strips should be arranged on the pan with a slight space between each one.
  • Bake in an oven at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, turning once about halfway through the cooking time.
  • Serve chicken tenders while hot, right out of the oven.

Chicken tenders go great with a dipping sauce. Ranch dressing is a favorite, along with blue cheese dressing, BBQ sauce, and honey mustard.

Chicken fingers make a great salad topping, too –it’s a decadent way to incorporate a nice salad into your day.

Try this fried chicken cutlets recipe that I find in a lot of non-fancy Chinese restaurants. It’s a chicken cutlet served over lettuce and rice and topped with peanut sauce, crushed peanuts, and green
onion. It’s a very simple dish to make, and a kind of comfort food for me.

What You Need to Make A Chinese Fried Chicken Cutlets Recipe

EGG and FLOUR for breading
LETTUCE …use fresh, crisp greens
RICE …I like jasmine rice for this dish
CRUSHED PEANUTS
GREEN ONION TOPS
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
peanut sauce:
¼ cup NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER
2 Tbsp SOY SAUCE
1 Tbsp CHILI GARLIC SAUCE

Slice chicken breast thinly and season simply with salt and pepper for this chicken cutlet dish.

How to Make A Chinese Style Fried Chicken Dish

Slice chicken breast into cuts about ¼ inch thick.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Coat chicken lightly with all purpose flour.
Dredge chicken in an egg wash,
Re-flour chicken (or use bread crumbs…I kinda like just more flour for this recipe)
Heat a skillet and oil on medium heat, maybe slightly more than medium–you’ll have to adjust the heat during cooking depending
on how much chicken is in the pan.
Make sure oil is hot before adding chicken! Otherwise the chicken will soak in the oil and be too greasy.

Adjust the heat as needed when frying chicken cutlets. You want the oil hot enough to cook the chicken through, but still leave the breading a nice, golden color.

Add chicken to skillet.
Cook approx. 4 minutes until chicken is fried golden brown on bottom, then turn and fry other side approx 4 minutes. Adjust cooking time
as needed; the key is not having the oil so hot that the breading overcooks before the chicken is done, adjust heat as required.
Remove chicken from oil and drain on a paper towel.
For each serving, plate a serving of sticky white rice.
Top rice with sliced lettuce; use fresh, crisp greens.
Combine peanut sauce ingredients and drizzle sauce over the lettuce.
Slice one of the whole fried chicken cutlets into ½ inch cuts and top over lettuce.
Add more peanut sauce.
Top dish with crushed peanuts and sliced green onion tops.
