– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs

Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create Buffalo Chicken Tenders that will amaze your guests:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken tender and first dip it into the flour, ensuring it’s completely coated. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Dip in Eggs: Next, transfer the flour-coated tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.
5. Bread the Chicken: Finally, place the egg-covered tender into the panko mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Once all tenders are coated, arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake the Tenders: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
8. Toss in Buffalo Sauce: While the tenders are baking, heat the Buffalo sauce in a small saucepan. Once the tenders are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle the hot Buffalo sauce over the tenders and toss gently to coat.
9. Return to Oven (Optional): For extra crispiness, you can return the coated tenders to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
10. Garnish: If desired, garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
