• Parmesan-Crusted Tenders: For an extra cheesy flavor, mix more Parmesan cheese into the breadcrumb mixture or top the cooked tenders with extra cheese and place them under the broiler for a minute or two until melted and golden.

• Baked Chicken Tenders: If you prefer a healthier alternative, you can bake the tenders instead of frying. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the breaded chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

• Gluten-Free Chicken Tenders: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version of this recipe.
