Baked Parmesan Bisquick Chicken Tenders

This chicken really lives up to its name. This recipe really is for the Ultimate Chicken Fingers! The flavor is great! The coating isn’t too heavy and it doesn’t fall off when you eat it. There are only a few simple ingredients and they are ready to eat in about 20 minutes! The perfect weeknight meal! Easy and delicious!

How to Make The Ultimate Chicken Fingers

This chicken is super easy to make. Start with beating an egg in a shallow plate or dish. Next, combine Bisquick, parmesan cheese, garlic salt, pepper, and paprika. Dip the chicken into the egg and then coat in the Bisquick mixture. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake. That’s it! SO easy!

• You can use any cut of chicken that you prefer. I used chicken tenderloins. This is also great on boneless chicken breasts or thighs.
• If you need a gluten-free dish, you can use Gluten-Free Bisquick.
• Can the Ultimate Chicken Fingers be made in advance? Yes! You can coat the chicken and refrigerate it overnight.
• Can Homemade Chicken Tenders be frozen? Yes. Coat the chicken and place on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer until the chicken is frozen. Transfer the chicken to a freezer bag. The chicken will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
  • You can bake the chicken frozen. Simply add a few minutes to the cooking time.
• Can Chicken Fingers be cooked in the air fryer? Yes. You can coat the chicken and cook it in the air fryer at 375ºF for 8 minutes.

What to Serve with Chicken

This chicken has been on repeat at our house. I usually double the recipe so we can have leftovers for lunch during the week. We like to dip the chicken into some Zippy Pineapple Sauce or Jalapeño Ranch Dip. They are all great in Ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard.

We usually serve the chicken with some green beans and rice. They are also great over some pasta. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this easy chicken:
