How to Make Easy Cheez It Chicken Fingers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Crush 1.5 cups Cheez-Its (or croutons/crackers) in a zip-top bag. Leave some small chunks for added texture. Pour onto a plate.
  4. Dip each chicken tender into the milk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Press the chicken into the crushed Cheez-Its, ensuring it's fully coated. For extra crunch, repeat steps 4 and 5.
  6. Place coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch dressing!
