For extra crispy tenders, place the baking sheet under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning. Experiment with different cheeses! Asiago, Romano, or a blend of Italian cheeses would also work beautifully. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Parmesan mixture for a touch of heat. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or a homemade aioli.
