1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2
Set Up Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with bread crumbs. Place on a plate.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
5
Fry the Chicken
Add chicken strips to the skillet, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with chosen sides.
