How To Make chicken tenders

• 1

  Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Spread the panko into a thin, even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden-brown, about 4 minutes. You can do this while the oven preheats, but they may need more time to toast. Set aside to cool on the baking sheet while you prepare the chicken.
• 2

  Place the mayonnaise, flour, and egg in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal the bag and massage until the ingredients become a mostly homogenous mixture.
• 3

  Season the chicken. Transfer the chicken to the bag with the mayonnaise mixture, seal the bag, and massage to coat each strip with the mixture.
• 4

  Transfer the panko to another gallon-sized zip-top bag. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to the panko bag. Seal the bag and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
• 5

  Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a baking sheet (you can use the same one you toasted the breadcrumbs on). Spray the chicken strips with cooking spray.
• 6

  Bake the chicken strips until golden-brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
