Crunchy Chicken Fingers

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup corn flake crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

For 2-24 hours, soak chicken tenders in buttermilk. I do this in a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Preheat oven to 450.

Lay a wire rack on a baking sheet and spray it with non-stick spray. In a separate bowl, mix flour, panko, corn flake crumbs, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken tender in the panko mix and coat thoroughly, then lay on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Spray each chicken piece lightly with cooking spray (it will help them crisp) and bake for 12 minutes. Flip and bake for 12 more. Let cool.
