Can I cook chicken tenders at 350 or 400 degrees Fahrenheit?
Yes, you can. However, the tenders will take a little longer to bake at 350 degrees than they would at 375 degrees.
For them to be perfectly cooked, allow them to cook for about 25 minutes. The tenders will require 15 to 17 minutes to cook at 400 degrees.
But ideally, you should cook them at 375 degrees.
How to know when chicken tenders are done?
As previously mentioned, cooking chicken tenders is quite simple. They only require a brief period of baking before they are ready to eat.
However, because they cook quickly and easily, you should take extra care to avoid burning them when baking.
It is simple to burn their coating and cause them to dry out from the inside by baking them at a higher temperature or for a longer period of time than is advised.
You won’t have to do much if you have a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer in the middle of your chicken tenders.
The tenders are prepared for eating when the temperature reaches 165 degrees. Check the tenders’ centers if you don’t have a meat thermometer. Take them out once the center is no longer pink. Alternatively, you can just leave them to bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees if you can’t check that.
