When I made them, I wasn’t sure if they should be called oven baked chicken nuggets or baked chicken tenders. Especially when you are baking chicken instead of frying the panko makes a huge difference! It results in a more crispy and crunchy end product than breadcrumbs. I definitely p refer panko to regular breadcrumbs because of its lighter and more delicate texture.

Panko is generally used in Japanese cooking and it can be found in the grocery store in the Asian foods aisle. The “special ingredient” in these baked breaded tenders is the Panko. Instead of breadcrumbs or just flour I use panko. No deep frying required!
