Chicken Tender Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, whisk the eggs in the second, and combine breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the tenders and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
