# Needed ingredients:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.5 lbs chicken tenders or chicken breasts cut into strips
→ Coating
02 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
03 - 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
04 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
05 - 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Wet Mixture
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 tablespoons milk
→ For Baking
09 - Nonstick cooking spray or 2 tablespoons olive oil
# How to make it:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
03 - In a separate shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
04 - Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
05 - Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure coating adheres properly.
06 - Arrange coated tenders on the prepared wire rack, spacing them apart. Lightly spray tops with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for enhanced crispiness.
07 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping tenders halfway through cooking, until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
08 - Serve immediately while hot with desired dipping sauce.
