Chicken Tenders
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by trimming any excess fat from the boneless chicken breasts. Cut each breast into strips approximately 1 inch wide to form tenders.

Set Up Breading Station
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs.

Coat the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the bread crumbs to ensure an even coating.

Repeat
Repeat the coating process for all chicken strips until they are all breaded.
Cooking

Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.
