Method
Preparation of Chicken
Cut the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
Batter Preparation
Prepare the Batter
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Breading and Frying
Bread the Chicken
Dip each seasoned chicken strip into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture for a second coating.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
