1 c. all-purpose flour
2 lb. chicken tenders
3 c. panko breadcrumbs

Freshly ground black pepper
4 tbsp. unsalted butter

Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large resealable Ziplock bag, combine flour and chicken. Shake until fully coated. Step 2Set up a dredging station: In one bowl, add panko breadcrumbs and in another bowl whisk eggs and add 2 tablespoons water. Dip chicken in beaten eggs, then panko until fully coated. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Step 3Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine buffalo sauce, barbecue sauce, honey and garlic powder. Bring to simmer then remove from heat. Step 4Transfer baked chicken to a large bowl and toss with sauce. Return to baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve with ranch, if desired.
