Hot Chicken Tenders


A wise man once said that 'never ever should an adult male be handed a shaker of cayenne pepper' – for any reason! That might be the case for most dishes, but this one is an exception. A tasty snake that’s perfect for football season. I added some KC Master BBQ sauce as a dip and the result was just marvie!

Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg chicken tenders - cut into finger-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 egg whites, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with a nonstick spray.

In a plastic bag, mix together flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a plate, mix the bread crumbs with the rest of the garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Shake the chicken pieces with the seasoned flour. Beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon water, and place egg mixture in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip seasoned chicken in egg mixture, and then roll in the seasoned bread crumb mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Use tongs to turn pieces over. Bake 8 minutes longer, or until chicken juices run clear.  Serves 3-6.
