# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.

Evenly coat each chicken tender in the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring complete coverage.

Place coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart for even heat circulation. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and an internal temperature of 74°C is reached.

Remove tenders from oven and allow to rest briefly before serving. Enjoy with your preferred dipping sauce.

For gluten-free preparation, use certified gluten-free crackers in place of Ritz.
03 -
To maximize crispiness, broil tenders for the final 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
04 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crisp texture.
