Chicken Tenders

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breasts into tenders, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, add flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In the third bowl, place the bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tenders

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken tenders in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure they are fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove tenders from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
