Get ready to spice up your dinner routine with these Simply Fied Kickin Chicken Buffalo Tenders! This easy, 5-ingredient recipe brings the bold flavors of buffalo wings to crispy, oven-baked chicken tenders with minimal effort. Coated in tangy buffalo sauce, dredged in crunchy panko breadcrumbs, and drizzled with melted butter for an irresistibly crispy finish, these tenders are a healthier alternative to fried options without sacrificing flavor. Ready in just 30 minutes, theyβre perfect for busy weeknights, game-day snacks, or weekend gatherings. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, carrot sticks, or celery for a crowd-pleasing dish that delivers the ultimate combination of heat, crunch, and convenience.
Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the flour in a shallow dish, the panko breadcrumbs in another dish, and the buffalo sauce in a small bowl.
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, ensuring itβs fully coated, then dip it into the buffalo sauce, and finally coat it evenly in the panko breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the breaded chicken tenders to help them achieve a crispy texture in the oven.
Bake the chicken tenders for 18-20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165Β°F or 74Β°C).
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of celery sticks or carrot sticks for a classic buffalo chicken experience.
