How to Make Them
- Prep your chicken: Season and dip the tenders into an egg wash.
- Coat: Press into a mixture of ranch seasoning, cheese, and breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers.
- Cook: Bake in the oven or air fry until crispy and golden, or pan-fry for a deeper crunch.
- Top it off: Sprinkle with bacon and extra cheese if you’re going all-in.
Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Use buttermilk or marinate in ranch for extra tender chicken.
- Don’t skip the bacon! It adds crunch and an extra punch of flavor.
- Air fryer option: Cook at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with ranch or honey mustard for dipping (or drizzle with spicy mayo for a kick).
