Baked Fried Chicken Tenders

Baked Fried Chicken Tenders

I love fried chicken but I don't like to fry foods at home. I don't like the mess and I like to make them a little healthier.  These are fantastic!  Pretty simple, they make a great crunchy chicken strip. 

Ingredients:
boneless, skinless chicken tenders
milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

Directions:
Place thawed chicken tenders in a bowl of milk.  Let soak for 20-30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 400*F.  Cut butter into chunks and place in a 9x13 pan.  Melt butter in preheated oven (DO NOT skip this step!).  Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan.  Lightly spray the pan if needed to make sure there are no dry spots.  Mix seasonings and flour in a large Ziploc bag or large bowl.  Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix.  Shake the chicken in the bag until coated or dip each piece in the bowl until coated.  Place each piece of chicken in the pan.  Cook for 20 minutes.  Turn each piece of chicken over and continue cooking for 20 more minutes or until cooked through.
