1
Prepare the Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2
Setup Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve with kettle chips or fries.
