1
Prepare Chicken
Trim the chicken breast of any excess fat and cut it into strips, about 1 inch wide.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and combine breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

3
Coat the Chicken
Take a piece of chicken strip, dredge it in the flour, shaking off excess, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all chicken strips.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Working in batches, carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
