Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the crushed cornflakes in a shallow bowl.
In a second bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
In a third bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the crushed cornflakes.
Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or drizzle with oil.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest briefly before serving.

Notes

Press the cornflake coating firmly onto the chicken to help it stick.Add grated Parmesan or dried herbs to the cornflakes for extra flavor.Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep the coating crispy.Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
