  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips of desired thickness.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place breaded chicken strips into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove chicken tenders from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with honey mustard and BBQ sauce.
