Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation of Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side).

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with fries.
