• 2 tablespoons Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
2. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer evenly over both sides of the chicken and let sit for 5-10 minutes to tenderize.
3. Set up your breading station: In one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl, pour the SUPERB BLEND Breading Mix.
4. Bread the chicken: Dip each seasoned tender into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the SUPERB BLEND Breading Mix. Press gently to help the breading adhere.
5. Arrange on baking sheet: Place breaded tenders on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil for extra crispiness.
6. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
7. Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauces!
