# How to make it:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat lightly with nonstick spray.
02 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
03 - In a separate shallow bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
04 - Pat chicken tenders dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure optimal breading adhesion.
05 - Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture allowing excess to drip off, then coat completely in the panko mixture while pressing gently to secure the breading.
06 - Place breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet with even spacing between each piece.
07 - Lightly spray the top surface of all tenders with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
08 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the coating is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
09 - Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by dipping sauce.
