<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy I Love This Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThese Eggless Oven Fried Chicken Tenders look amazing, tastes just like deep-fried fried chicken, and always cure my cravings. Plus, this recipe is straightforward to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at these photos, you’ll swear this oven-fried chicken, lower in calories and fat but still crunchy and delicious, was made in the frying pan. Nope! They\u2019re completely baked from start to finish. There\u2019s absolutely no searing or frying here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chicken has the same crispy, golden texture as the real deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chicken is soaked in buttermilk, which keeps it moist and juicy, and then rolled into a crunchy and tasty coating. Even though they are made with chicken breast, they are incredibly juicy and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCan I use a different cut of chicken?<\/strong> You can use whatever cut of chicken you prefer. Just keep in mind that dark meat has more calories than white meat. <\/p> <\/div>
Can I make this in an air fryer?<\/strong> You can make this healthier fried chicken in the air fryer! Preheat the air fryer to 400\u00b0F. Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook for 13-15 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through so they’re crispy on both sides. Repeat with the remaining chicken.<\/p> <\/div>
How do I reheat oven-fried chicken?<\/strong> To keep the chicken crispy, reheat the chicken tenderloins in a 350\u00baF oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until warmed through.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nQuick Recipe Tips<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n- The cooking time will depend on the thickness and size of your chicken<\/a> pieces. So make sure to check that the chicken is cooked through before you serve. The best way is to use a meat thermometer (170\u00b0F for breasts; 180\u00b0F for thighs and legs).<\/li>
- Don’t have regular breadcrumbs? Try panko breadcrumbs. <\/li>
- This baked crispy chicken is best enjoyed right away as it loses its crispness over time.<\/li>
- Leave space between the chicken breasts when placing it on the sheet pan. This way, the heat can reach all sides of the chicken to help it get extra crispy.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
