Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with foil, coating generously with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined.
In a food processor, pulse the cornflakes, paprika, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until they form coarse crumbs.
Transfer the cornflake mixture to a large plate or shallow dish.
Season the chicken tenders with extra salt and pepper to taste.
Dip each chicken piece into the milk and egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Press the chicken into the cornflake crumbs, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, lightly spraying the tops with cooking spray.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, try adding some grated Parmesan cheese to the cornflake mixture.
Feel free to use other cuts of chicken if preferred, just adjust cooking time accordingly.
Serve with your choice of dipping sauce for added flavor.
