Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper.
  2. Sprinkle chicken tenders with all-purpose flour, coating each tender thoroughly.
  3. In one bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of milk. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each flour-coated chicken tender into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture, coating fully.
  5. Place breaded chicken tenders on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Remove from oven and brush with buffalo wing sauce generously before serving.
