Ingredients:
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Coat the Chicken Tenders:
- Pour the milk into a separate shallow dish. Dip each chicken tender into the milk, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat the chicken in the Bisquick mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Chicken Tenders:
- Drizzle the melted butter over the coated chicken tenders to help them brown and crisp. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Turn the chicken tenders halfway through the baking time for even browning.
- Serve:
- Remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Bisquick Chicken Tenders are a simple and satisfying meal that delivers all the crunch and flavor of fried chicken with the convenience of baking. Perfect for dipping and sharing, they make an excellent addition to any meal or party platter.
