  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Set up three dredging stations: (A) a shallow bowl with flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; (B) a bowl with beaten egg and milk; (C) a bowl with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels.

  4. 4

    Dredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour mixture, coating evenly and tapping off any excess.

  5. 5

    Dip the floured tenders into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.

  6. 6

    Roll the tenders in the breadcrumb–Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure a full coating adheres.

  7. 7

    Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not crowd; leave space between each piece.

  8. 8

    Bake for 12–15 minutes, then flip the tenders and bake an additional 4–7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crisp.

  9. 9

    Remove from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes. Serve hot with dipping sauces such as honey mustard or ketchup.
