02 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
03 - 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
04 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
05 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat lightly with nonstick spray.
02 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to create the wet coating mixture.
03 - In another shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
04 - Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels to ensure proper coating adhesion.
05 - Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breading.
06 - Place breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
07 - Lightly spray the tops of the tenders with cooking spray to promote extra crispiness during baking.
08 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
09 - Remove from oven and serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and your favorite dipping sauce.
