Chicken Tenders

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into strips and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs mixed with buttermilk, and breadcrumbs.

3

Bread the Chicken

Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

4

Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Cook the Fries

While the chicken is frying, prepare the frozen fries according to package instructions.

6

Serve

Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the fries on the side.
