Cooking Chicken Tenders

Bread the Chicken Tenders
Take each chicken tender and first coat it in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is fully coated, then place on a tray.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
