Coat the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and first coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
