Creating Crispy Homemade Baked Chicken Tenders is quite simple if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken tenders in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
3. Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Remove each chicken tender from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the tenders or lightly spray with cooking spray for added crispiness.
7. Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the tenders cool for a few minutes before serving.

By following these straightforward steps, you can effortlessly create delicious and crispy chicken tenders in your own kitchen.
