Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
  • In a shallow plate or dish, combine 2/3 cup Bisquick, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp garlic salt, and 1/2 tsp paprika; set aside.
  • In a separate shallow dish, slightly beat 1 large egg.
  • Season the 1½ lb chicken tenderloins with pepper to taste.
  • Working one at a time (or in batches), dip each tenderloin into the beaten egg, letting excess egg drip off, then press and turn it in the Bisquick mixture to coat evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
  • Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between pieces. Lightly spray the tops of the coated chicken with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 450°F for 12–14 minutes, flipping once about halfway through (after ~6–7 minutes), until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F when measured at the thickest part.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest 1–2 minutes before serving.

You can use any cut of chicken that you prefer. I used chicken tenderloins. This is also great on boneless chicken breasts or thighs.
If you need a gluten-free dish, you can use Gluten-Free Bisquick.
Can the Ultimate Chicken Fingers be made in advance? Yes! You can coat the chicken and refrigerate it overnight.
Can Homemade Chicken Tenders be frozen? Yes. Coat the chicken and place on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer until the chicken is frozen. Transfer the chicken to a freezer bag.
