Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken tenders
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the wasabi paste and soy sauce until smooth. This will serve as the wet component for coating.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Beat the eggs in a third shallow bowl.

Step 5

In a fourth shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 7

Coat each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 8

Dip the floured chicken piece into the wasabi mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 9

Next, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off.

Step 10

Finally, press the chicken tender into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Repeat for all chicken tenders.

Step 11

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 12

Working in batches, cook the chicken tenders for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Once all the chicken tenders are browned, transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 15

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (like a wasabi mayo or sweet chili sauce) and enjoy!
