An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Garlic powder is ground, dehydrated garlic. It is a very common seasoning. Applications include pasta, pizza, and grilled chicken. Garlic salt is simply salt plus garlic powder. (Pre-made products usually include an anti-caking agent.) Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt.

Onion powder is dehydrated, ground onion that is commonly used as a seasoning. It is a common ingredient in seasoned salt and spice mixes, such as beau monde seasoning. Some varieties are prepared using toasted onion. White, yellow and red onions may be used. Onion powder is a commercially prepared food product that has several...

In a small bowl combine Dijon mustard, honey, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer 1/4 cup of the honey mustard to a large bowl and reserve the remaining (1/2 cup).

Add chicken tenders to the large bowl with 1/4 cup of honey mustard and marinate, 15 to 30 minutes minimum or as long as overnight.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 425F. 

Make pretzel breadcrumbs. Blend pretzels to a coarse, breadcrumb like texture and combine with breadcrumbs, garlic powder and remaining onion powder. Transfer to a shallow dish.

Add egg to the marinating chicken and mix well to coat.

Press each tender into the crumb mixture, slightly squeezing the breading onto each tender with the back of a fork to ensure it sticks and is well-coated.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment and cooking spray. Place coated tenders on the sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray as well. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in each side.

Serve with remaining honey mustard.

Air Fryer Method: Air fry 400F in an even layer, in batches as needed 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy and golden on the outside.

I’m not a fan the honey mustard was too strong. When I cooked it I didn’t spread them out and they were not very crunchy. Maybe if there was more honey or water in the sauce and make sure to spread them out. I had to double due to large family.

I liked the coating on the chicken. I was concerned that the chicken might be too salty from the pretzels, but it wasn’t at all. However, the honey mustard sauce was a bit intense with the amount of Dijon mustard. When I make this next time, I will use a mixture of yellow mustard with less than half of Dijon. I may even add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.

Wow! Another winner with my family. The adults loved them and I even got my picky 4 year old to try them. He said they were yummy. They do really remind me of Snyder’s honey mustard and onion pretzels.

We thought this was a great recipe and soooo easy when made in the Air Fryer. The left over mustard sauce was a bit much for us - so we added some prepared Beavers brand extra hot sweet mustard. A great recipe. Thank  you.

Delicious! My four kids and I loved these chicken tenders. I'm not usually crazy about chicken tenders, but the timing was perfect, and the chicken tenders were all juicy. I was a little nervous that the sauce would make the chicken taste heavy on the dijon, but the honey really comes through while in the oven. Will be making this again!

Very good for a different way to bake chicken tenders. I only found that the coating remained soft in a few place and I couldn’t keep them in the oven any longer without drying out. But I think the solution would be less coating for me

Wow you are amazing - I love all of your recipes and most of them I can make Gluten Free with exceptions which you usually put in the recipes.  Thank you for making life a little easier.

Juicy and tender baked chicken tenders are perfect for feeding picky eaters or for an easy lunch or dinner when you’re short on time.
