Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. In one bowl, combine the flour, basil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Crush your cereal and pour it into a third bowl.

Step 2
Take each chicken tender and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any extra. Then dip it into the egg wash, followed by the crushed cereal, pressing gently so it sticks well. Arrange the coated tenders on your prepared baking sheet.
