I just got home from a long weekend visiting Gina and Brandy and had another hilariously awesome weekend. It was full of laughter, eating, meeting new friends, getting makeup tips, and sharing blogging tips amongst each other.
It’s so funny how blogging slash the internet brings you together these days. I feel like growing up, that was a huge no-no. You never meet anyone that you’ve been talking to on the internet let alone travel to visit them and stay a weekend with them. Times sure have changed!
I love rice as much as the next Asian so if I had to pick team rice or team tofu, I would have to choose rice over tofu. I mean, I do love tofu but not as much as I love rice. Rice is such a great base for any recipe – kind of like pasta for Italians. What better way to top rice with two delicious crispy sweet and spicy chicken tenders?
Crispy Sweet and Spicy Chicken Tenders
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds (567 g) boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup (60 g) panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup (237 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ cup (158 g) Soy Vay® Spicy’N Sweet Chili Heat or Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teryiaki®
- White rice for serving
- Green scallions,, for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F (218 °C). Place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet and set aside.
- In two shallow containers, add panko to one container and milk and egg to the other container. Whisk together the milk and egg.
- Coat the chicken tenders into the milk and egg mixture then drain off the excess. Coat the chicken in panko on both sides and gently press panko onto chicken. Shake off excess and place onto wire rack. Repeat until all chicken tenders are coated.
- Bake for 10 minutes then using tongs, flip the chicken to cook on the other side for another 10 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, let cool for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, pour your sauce of choice into a shallow container. Dip the chicken tenders in the sauce of your choice and place on top of white rice. Garnish with green scallions, if desired.
Hi! Was just wondering if the wire rack is necessary? Don’t have one but really want to make this tonight!
I feel like it helps air circulate around the chicken tenders therefore getting an even crisp on the tenders but if you don’t have one then you totally don’t have to! :)
Thank you so much for information about this technique! My first time using my indoor grill and the chicken turned out fantastic!! Your instructions were easy to follow and yielded results even better than what I had hoped for. I look forward to delving deeper into your blog and learning even more. Thanks again:)
