  • Season chicken in a medium bowl. Toss and coat with piri piri. Set aside.
  • Place the coating ingredients in a plastic bag and shake well to blend.
  • Beat the egg wash ingredients in a small bowl until well incorporated.
  • Dredge 3 or 4 pieces of chicken at a time in egg wash. Shake off excess then place in plastic bag. Shake to coat evenly.
  • Place tenders evenly on sheet pan.
