Chicken Tenders

Method

Chicken Tenders Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken Strips

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is fully covered.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

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

  6. 6

    Drain and Keep Warm

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep warm in an oven set to low.

Fries Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 8

    Rinse and Dry

    Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  3. 9

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 10

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 11

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with salt and black pepper to taste.
