- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Coat Chicken Tenders:

- After coating with the mayo mixture, dredge each tender in the crushed Ritz crackers, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
-
Serve:
-
- Remove from the oven and let the tenders rest for a few minutes.
-
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
-
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mayonnaise mixture.
