Party Size Crunchy Onion Chicken Tenders

[Chris in NM]

I made the Party Size Crunchy Onion Chicken Tenders tonight for dinner with mashed potatoes and a shared avcado. I made some changes to the chicken recipe. This is the original recipe:

Party Size Crunchy Onion Chicken Tenders
Makes 8 Servings

prep 10 min.
cooking 15 min.

(3 cups) FRENCH'S® Original or Cheddar French Fried Onions 6 oz. can
1/4 cup flour
2 lbs chicken tenders .
2 eggs, beaten

CRUSH French Fried Onions with flour in plastic bag. DIP chicken tenders into egg; coat in onion crumbs. BAKE 15 min. at 400°F until chicken is cooked. SERVE with French's Honey Mustard and Spicy Buffalo Ranch Dip.

and here is my version:

Party Size Crunchy Onion Chicken Tenders

serves 2

(1 ½ cups) FRENCH'S® Original or Cheddar French Fried Onions 6 oz. can
1/3 cup flour
1/2 lbs chicken tenders
1 egg, beaten

CRUSH French Fried Onions in plastic bag. DIP chicken tenders into flour, then egg then coat in onion crumbs. BAKE 15 min. at 400°F until chicken is cooked.

What I found out is that I should have dipped the tenders in the egg, then flour, then the crushed onions. The coating had a tendency to fall off the chicken. I also pan fried them in an electric skillet in a small amount of canola/olive oil. I have made chicken in the oven before and it turned out very dry. Ours was very tender and juicy! If you notice, we did not use a dip. It was not needed.

Hi Chris, this may sound strange, but what part of the chicken do you call the tenders?

It's not a name we use for any part of the chicken!!

I've got chicken breasts and thought I'd try a version of your recipe. We can't get the French's brand here.

Oops! Sylvia, we call boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced in about 3 - 4 pieces lengthwise chicken tenders. We can buy them already boned and skinned and sliced in 2 lb. packages that are in the freezer section. That way, you don't have to eat a whole or 1/2 breast! Bob and I usually have 1 1/2 pieces each. We just eat any more than that. Go ahead and try it! This dish is very good! I will be fixing it again!
