Ingredients

Instructions

  • In one mixing bowl whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and a few dashes of hot sauce together.
  • In another bowl, combine the Panko, parmesan cheese, granulated garlic and onion, smoked paprika, dried dill weed, and salt and pepper.
  • Dip the tenderloin into the egg mixture and then into the panko mixture to coat. Make sure the tender is evenly coated with the breadcrumbs. Place the tender onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Coat the top side of the chicken with spray oil. Bake in a preheated 425° oven for 12-13 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken over and give the other side a coating of the spray oil. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
  • Enjoy!
