Chicken Tender Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.
- 2
Set Up the Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and add the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third bowl.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
- 5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown, and the chicken is cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the cooked chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
