Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the boneless chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Dredging Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken strip first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Ensure each strip is well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken strips in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Toss with Wing Sauce (Optional)

    If desired, remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and toss them in your choice of wing sauce before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the chicken tenders and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
