Tenders Recipe

Tenders Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Start by cutting the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. This will ensure that they cook evenly and are easy to eat.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow dishes, set up your breading station. In the first dish, place all-purpose flour, and season it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the second dish, whisk together eggs and milk. In the third dish, place the breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken Strips

   Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, coating it completely. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. You’ll want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet generously. The oil is ready when it shimmers and a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles.

5. 5

   Fry the Tenders

   Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip them halfway through.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces!
