Pecan Tenders Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the finely chopped pecans, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Tenders

    Add the coated chicken tenders to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pecan tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
