Chicken Tenders

Fries

Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Tenders

    Cut chicken breasts into strips. In three separate bowls, set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the bread crumb mixture. Ensure they are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

Frying

  1. 4

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    While the chicken is frying, wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips. Rinse in cold water and pat dry.

  3. 6

    Fry the Fries

    In the same hot oil, fry the potato strips until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Plate the fried chicken tenders alongside the handcut fries. Serve with a selection of dipping sauces including ketchup, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.
