Oven-fried Chicken Fingers

There are hundreds of things you can do with chicken tenders.
This is very simple and could become a family favorite.


2 cups butter-flavored cracker crumbs-about 40 crackers
(Ritz or Townhouse)
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
1/4 cup Mayonnaise (you can use the reduced fat kind)
1 Tbs. Milk ( or skim or low fat)
1 1/2 lbs. Chicken tenders ( thaw if frozen)
Cooking oil spray

Barbecue sauce-Honey mustard-or Ranch dressing for dipping

Pre-heat oven to 450
Place the crackers, garlic powder and black pepper in a gallon zip-lock bag.
Crush the crackers with a rolling pin or sturdy glass to make fine crumbs.

Mix together the mayo, and milk in a large bowl.
Add the chicken tenders a few at a time to coat.

Spray a pan-11 by 17-(jelly roll pan) with cooking spray.

Add a few coated chicken tenders to the crumb mix and shake to coat.

Place on the pan.
Repeat until all the tenders are crumb coated.

Bake the chicken uncovered until lightly browned (turning once)
About 15 to 20 mins.

Remove from oven and serve with the dipping sauce of your choice.

Enjoy!!!
