Method

Preparation of Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Cut the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in one, whisk the eggs and milk together in the second, and the bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the bread crumbs. Make sure each strip is well coated.

Frying the Chicken Tenders

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 7

    Serve with Dipping Sauces

    Arrange the chicken tenders on a serving plate and serve with your choice of dipping sauces such as ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
