INstructions:

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
   2. Prepare 3 bowls, one with the flour, one with the breadcrumbs, spices, salt, and pepper, and lastly one with the eggs. Working one at a time, dredge the tenders in the flour, then the egg wash, and lastly the breadcrumb mixture, coating each piece thoroughly. Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
   3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan on the center simmer burner over medium heat. When melted, whisk in the hot sauce until smooth. Liberally baste the chicken with buffalo sauce on all sides, reserving ¼ cup of sauce. Place the baking sheet back into the oven and continue baking another 10 minutes. Baste the chicken a second time with the reserved sauce.
   4. Build the sliders with 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise, one chicken tender, and a slice of tomato and lettuce.
   5. Serve immediately.
