Preparation Steps

Prepare the Chicken Tenders
Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dredge chicken tenders in flour or your choice of breading, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
