1 lb Chicken Tenders Juicy and tender, cut from chicken breast.
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce Use your favorite brand or homemade variety.
2 cups Potato Chips Plain or BBQ-flavored for added crunch. Baked chips are a healthier option.
1 large Egg For coating the chicken.
1/2 cup Flour For a slight crisp.
to taste Salt and Pepper To enhance the flavor.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Set up a dredging station: one bowl with flour mixed with salt and pepper, another bowl with the beaten egg, and a third bowl filled with crushed potato chips.
Dip each chicken tender first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat them with the crushed potato chips.
Lay the coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring space between each.

Bake the tenders for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the tenders generously with BBQ sauce and return to the oven.

For spicy variations, add cayenne pepper to the flour mix. Consider using fresh herbs in the coating for flavor.
