Method

Chicken Tenders Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into tenders, about 1-1.5 inches wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, add the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place on a plate and repeat until all tenders are breaded.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 7

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut potatoes in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 8

    Heat the Oil for Fries

    In a separate pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  4. 9

    Fry the Fries

    Once the oil is hot, add the soaked fries in batches. Fry for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
