Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  • Coat each chicken tender in the mayo mixture, then dredge in crushed Ritz crackers, pressing to ensure coating sticks.
  • Arrange chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Gluten-free option available by using gluten-free crackers. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
