Buffalo and Blue Chicken Tenders
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs, such as Ians All-Natural
- 4 large egg whites
- 12 ounces chicken tenders
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup Franks RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce
- 1/2 cup 3-Grams-of-Fat Blue Cheese Dressing (page 201) or store-bought reduced-fat blue cheese dressing, such as Bolthouse Farms
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Place a wire rack on a foil-lined baking sheet, and set it aside.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish.
- Put the panko in another shallow dish.
- In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites with a whisk until they are extremely foamy but not quite holding peaks.
- Working in batches, dredge the chicken tenders in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Add the chicken to the egg whites and toss to coat them completely.
- Add the chicken, a few pieces at a time, to the bowl of panko and coat completely.
- Spread the chicken out on the wire rack.
- Season the chicken well with salt and pepper, and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake the tenders until the breading is golden and crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 14 minutes.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the chicken fingers with the Buffalo sauce.
- Arrange the chicken fingers on a platter, and serve with the blue cheese dressing for dipping.
