Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders with Sriracha Honey Mustard
- 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Tenders/tenderloins
- 1 cup Low Fat Or Fat Free Buttermilk
- 3 cups Crispy Brown Rice Cereal (You Can Use Any Brand, But Rice Krispies Is Always An Easy Choice.)
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 18 teaspoons White Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Plus 1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 3 Tablespoons Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
- Place the chicken tenders in a shallow baking dish.
- Pour the buttermilk over the chicken tenders and make sure that they are well coated in the liquid.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- (Feel free to let them marinate overnight if youre a planner!)
- Once your tenders have marinated, remove them from the fridge and pre-heat the oven to 375 F. Spray a wire rack with cooking spray, place it on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
- (Note: Depending on the size of your rack, you may need to use two, or bake the chicken tenders in batches.)
- Pour the crispy brown rice cereal into a shallow bowl or baking dish.
- Use your hands to lightly crush the cereal.
- You dont want to pulverize the rice, but you do want to break it up into smaller pieces so that it will stick to the chicken more easily.
- Add the paprika, salt and white pepper to the cereal and mix to combine.
- Now its time to coat your chicken fingers.
- I like to form an assembly line by placing the chicken tenders/buttermilk dish next to the crispy rice mixture, followed by the prepared wire rack.
- Remove the tenderloins from the buttermilk one at a time, shaking lightly to remove any excess liquid.
- Place each tender in the crispy rice mixture and use your hands to press the cereal onto the chicken.
- You want each tender to be thoroughly coated, people.
- Place the coated tenderloins on the wire rack and mist with cooking spray.
- I like to use an olive oil spray, but any old spray will work.
- Repeat until youve coated all of the chicken.
- Transfer the pan of chicken tenders to the oven and bake for 11 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tray from the oven, flip the chicken fingers over and mist again with cooking spray.
- Return them to the oven and bake for another 11 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the tenders are golden brown.
- While your chicken fingers are cooking, prepare your fancy dipping sauce.
- Place all the ingredients for the Sriracha honey mustard in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Serve your crispy chicken tenders hot alongside a bowl of Sriracha honey mustard.
- Do the funky chicken.
