Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well coated.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
