Chicken Tenders

Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then coat it with the bread crumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Chips

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly into rounds.

  2. 8

    Rinse and Dry

    Rinse the sliced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 9

    Heat Oil for Frying

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

  4. 10

    Fry the Chips

    Add the potato slices to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 11

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
