Instructions
- 1
Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and place it near the stove. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tbsp hot sauce until combined. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

Working one at a time, dredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then press it firmly into the panko so the crumbs adhere on all sides. Set the coated tender on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining pieces.
