Chicken Tenders

Buffalo Sauce (optional)

Method

Preparation of Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry Chicken Tenders

    Carefully place breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Buffalo Sauce Preparation (Optional)

  1. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Once melted, add hot sauce and garlic powder. Stir until well combined. Adjust salt to taste.

  2. 7

    Coat Tenders

    Once the chicken tenders are cooked, toss them in the buffalo sauce until well coated.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Plate the chicken tenders and serve with your choice of dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese.
