Baked Firecracker Chicken Tenders - so easy with the most amazing sweet and spicy Asian sauce - plus they're so much healthier than the fried version!
INGREDIENTS
- 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to ½ inch thickness
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 3 eggs + 3 tablespoons water
- ⅓ cup flour
sauce
- ⅓ cup Frank's hot sauce (this brand really makes the sauce!)
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425 and grease a large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Slice chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips. Add flour and chicken strips to a large zip-lock bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken.
- Place panko in a bowl. In a second bowl whisk together eggs and water. Dip flour-coated chicken pieces into the egg mixture to coat, then toss in the panko crumbs (make sure to coat well) and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Bake chicken for 15-25 minutes until golden-brown and cooked through. While chicken tenders are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium sauce pan combine all sauce ingredients. Stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, then reduce to low and allow to simmer until ready to use.
- When chicken is finished cooking, use tongs to toss chicken tenders in the sauce. Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.
