Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brine the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix water, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add chicken tenderloins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, the second with a mixture of beaten egg and milk, and the third with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in egg mixture, and then coat with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
