How to Make Everyday Food Chicken Tenders With Creamy Honey Mustard

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).
  2. Place 1 cup all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes cereal with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until finely crumbed. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Coat each chicken tender: first in the flour (shaking off excess), then in the egg (shaking off excess), and finally in the crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Arrange chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
