Chicken Tenders Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a deep skillet or large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
