Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into tenders, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry 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 drain on paper towels. Serve warm with honey mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
