Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breast. Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In one shallow bowl, add the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Take each chicken strip, first dip it in the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumbs. Ensure that each strip is evenly coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
- 5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan). Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
