Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken tenderloins under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tenderloin first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the bread crumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken tenderloins to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the cooked tenders from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
