Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparing Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in one; beaten eggs in the second; and breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, frying them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Preparing Sides

  1. 5

    Cook French Fries

    If using frozen french fries, cook them according to package instructions until crispy. If making from scratch, cut potatoes into sticks, rinse, and fry them in oil until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Make Coleslaw

    In a bowl, combine pre-shredded coleslaw mix with your favorite dressing. Toss well to combine.

  3. 7

    Prepare Dipping Sauce

    Pour your choice of dipping sauce into a small bowl for serving.
