Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into long strips. Twist each strip to create a spiral shape.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of cornstarch, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each twisted chicken strip in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tenders

    Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    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 choice of dipping sauce.
