Chicken Sticks

This is a healthier take on fried chicken tenders, since it is baked.  It is so easy to make, plus both my two year old and husband love them.  These chicken tenders are great for dinner, appetizers, or parties.  You can serve them alone or with your favorite dipping sauce, try my homemade BBQ Sauce recipe or Leigh’s Marinara Sauce.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Salt and pepper 2 pounds of washed chicken tenders.  In a large shallow dish, put:

1 cup flour

Coat chicken in flour.  In another separate large shallow dish, mix together:

3 eggs

1/4 cup milk

In a food processor, on low speed, mix toegther:

2 cups corn flakes (regular or honey-nut)

1 cup bread crumbs

1 tablespoon paprika

2 tablespoons grill seasoning, (any kind is fine, I use McCormick’s Steak Seasoning)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Once mixed, transfer breading to a shallow dish.  Dip floured tenders first into egg mixture and then breading mixture and arrange on a nonstick baking sheet.  Bake chicken about 15-17 minutes or until cooked through.  Can be served hot or cold.

Serves 4-6
