Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish, beat the eggs in the second dish, and place breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third dish.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken strip in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each strip is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, mustard, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth.

Side Dish
