  1. 1

    Prep and preheat

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Bread station setup

    In three shallow dishes: place flour in the first; whisk eggs with milk in the second; mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Prepare chicken fingers

    Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels.

  4. 4

    Dredge in flour

    Coat each chicken tender in flour, shaking off excess.

  5. 5

    Egg wash

    Dip floured tenders into the egg-milk wash, ensuring full coating.

  6. 6

    Breadcrumb coating

    Roll the egg-washed tenders in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  7. 7

    Arrange chicken

    Place coated chicken fingers on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with olive oil.

  8. 8

    Fries prep

    Wash and cut potatoes into fries. Pat dry thoroughly.

  9. 9

    Season fries

    Toss fries with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated. Spread fries in a single layer on the second baking sheet.

  10. 10

    Bake chicken

    Bake chicken fingers for 12-14 minutes, then flip and bake another 6-8 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  11. 11

    Bake fries

    While chicken bakes, bake fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.

  12. 12

    Serve

    Remove from oven. Let chicken fingers rest 2-3 minutes. Serve with dipping sauces such as ketchup or honey mustard and with the fries.
