Creating Baked Honey-Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the honey and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside a portion for dipping later.

3. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels, seasoning them generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper for extra flavor.

4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken tender in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the honey-mustard mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

5. Breadcrumb Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine pretzel crumbs and Panko breadcrumbs. Press each coated tender into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a thick coating.

6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced.

7. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken tenders to enhance browning and crispiness while baking.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

9. Serve: Allow the tenders to cool for a few minutes before serving them with the reserved honey-mustard sauce for dipping.

These simple steps will lead you to create delicious and crispy Baked Honey-Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders that everyone will love.
