Chicken Tenders Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

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

Set Up Dipping Stations

In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the following: In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Coat the Chicken

Take each chicken strip and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally, coat it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Chicken Tenders

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

Drain and Serve

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

Mix the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, and mustard. Stir until well blended and smooth.

Serve

Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the chicken tenders.
