Instructions
Set Up Breading Station
Set up three shallow bowls. Fill the first with flour seasoned with salt and garlic powder. Fill the second with beaten eggs. Fill the third with panko breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika.
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken tenderloin in flour and shake off excess. Dip into the egg wash and let excess drip off. Press firmly into the panko breadcrumbs on both sides until fully coated.
Cook the Tenders
Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tenders for 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to a 400 degree F oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Make the Honey BBQ Sauce
Combine BBQ sauce and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until warmed through and well combined, about 3 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil or it will become too thick.
Glaze and Serve
Brush the warm honey BBQ sauce generously over each tender. Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping. Plate immediately and enjoy while hot.
