# Step-by-step guide:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
02 - In a shallow bowl, mix together panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
03 - In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk until fully combined.
04 - Pat the chicken strips dry with paper towels to ensure even coating.
05 - Dip each chicken strip first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
06 - Place coated chicken strips evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil for a crispier exterior.
07 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, turning once halfway through baking, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
08 - Allow cooked chicken tenders to rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
