Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in another, breadcrumbs mixed with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in the third.
Step 3
Coat each tender in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing gently so coating sticks.
Step 4
Arrange tenders on the prepared sheet in a single layer and lightly spray or drizzle with oil.
Step 5
Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
Step 6
Serve hot with lettuce and dipping sauce.
