Directions

1. Start by making the ranch dressing. In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, parsley, dill, garlic powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
2. Place the chicken tenders in a large Ziploc bag and add 3/4 cup of the ranch and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Squish the chicken and dressing around, making sure that each tender is well coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Pop that extra ranch in the fridge too.
3. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a wire rack with cooking spray and place it on top of a baking sheet. Set aside.
4. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl with a good pinch of kosher salt. Set this bowl next to the prepared baking sheet and get your marinated chicken from the fridge. You want to set up a little assembly line to make your life easier.
5. One at a time, remove the chicken tenderloins from the bag and dredge them in the bowl of breadcrumbs. (Tongs make this process less messy.) Use your fingers to gently press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken tenders. (You want each tender to be realllly well coated, capiche?) Transfer the breaded tenders to the prepared wire rack.
6. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Meanwhile, heat the wing sauce in a medium saucepan. When hot, remove from the heat and add a few of the chicken tenders at a time. Use tongs to make sure they get completely coated in the sauce.
8. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately with the reserved ranch for dipping and chopped celery.
