Cooking Instructions

  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 flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg, followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 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 hot.
