Instructions
Crush the cornflakes as finely as possible in a mixing bowl or a plate with a higher edge and add half of the seasonings recommended in the recipe (1 teaspoon of smoked paprika powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper or cayenne pepper) and mix evenly.
Break 2 eggs into a separate larger bowl or mixing bowl and beat with a fork until smooth.
Cut the chicken filets into equal-sized strips (2 filets into about 10 strips) and coat with half of the remaining seasonings (1 teaspoon of smoked paprika powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper or cayenne pepper).
Bread the strips of chicken filet one by one, first lifting them into the egg mixture and then coating them completely with the crushed cornflakes mixture.
Put the breaded chicken filet strips on a baking rack or baking tray covered with baking paper and cover with an even layer of cooking spray. If you cook the chicken on a baking sheet, you can get an evenly crispy result by turning the chicken filet strips halfway through cooking.
Bake the breaded chicken filet strips in a preheated oven at 200 °C for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Optional (Spicy Greek Yogurt Dip)
If you wish, you can mix together a spicy dipping sauce made of Greek yogurt, sriracha sauce, smoked paprika powder and chopped fresh or dried parsley next to the crispy chicken tenders.
