Tenders Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Cut each breast into strips of approximately 1 inch wide to form tenders.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Stations

   In three separate shallow bowls, set up the breading stations. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken

   Take each chicken strip and first dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.

5. 5

   Fry the Tenders

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

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
