- Gather all ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a wire rack in a 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Coat rack with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken tenders with 1/2 teaspoon salt, set aside.
- Place flour in a small shallow dish. Whisk together egg and Sriracha in a second shallow dish. Combine panko, shredded coconut, sesame seeds, paprika, garlic powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a third shallow dish. Drizzle panko mixture with olive oil and mix until coated evenly.
