Crispy sriracha honey chicken tenders with creamy lime dipping sauce

The story

These chicken tenders balance a sticky honey-sriracha glaze with a creamy lime dipping sauce. Baking keeps the panko coating crisp without frying.
Make it

Method

Prepare

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the top third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat a nonstick baking sheet.

    About 3 min

Bread the chicken

  1. Place the panko in one shallow bowl. In a second bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

    About 2 min
  2. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture and let the excess drip off. Coat it in panko, pressing gently so the crumbs stick, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.

    About 5 min

Bake

  1. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the coating is crisp and the chicken reaches 165°F in the center.

    About 20 min

Make the sauces

  1. While the chicken bakes, whisk together the sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lime juice. In another small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and lime zest. Season the dipping sauce with salt and black pepper.

    About 5 min

Finish

  1. Dip or gently toss the cooked chicken tenders in the honey-sriracha sauce until coated. Serve right away with the lime dipping sauce.
