Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
