Sesame Encrusted Baked Chicken Tenders
If you like the taste of sesame seeds as much as I do, you'll love these Sesame Encrusted Chicken Tenders coated with sesame seeds, panko and a hint of soy sauce. Bake them or make them in the air fryer!
Ingredients
- 8 chicken tenderloins (18 oz total)
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper ( to taste)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
- 6 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup panko
- olive oil spray

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick oil spray.
- Combine the sesame oil and soy sauce in a bowl, and the sesame seeds, salt and panko in another.
- Place chicken in the bowl with the oil and soy sauce, then into the sesame seed mixture to coat well.
- Place on the baking sheet; lightly spray the top of the chicken with oil spray and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until slightly browned on the bottom.
- Turn over and cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked through and the edges are crisp. Serve over rice with more soy sauce, if desired.
Air Fryer Cook Time
- Preheat the air fryer 400F. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway until cooked through, crispy and golden.
