Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken tenders in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
