1

Line a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Put the pan in the oven as it preheats. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2

In a shallow dish, stir together flour, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. Place beaten eggs in a second shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, combine French-fried onions and breadcrumbs.
3

Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the onion–breadcrumb mixture until fully coated; set aside.
4

Carefully take the baking sheet out of the oven and swirl it to spread the hot oil. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
5

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Flip and continue baking until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6

Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl for the dipping sauce until smooth.
7

Serve the chicken with the onion dipping sauce.
