Chicken Tenders

Dipping Sauce

Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips 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. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, mustard, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine until smooth.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
