Cut the chicken breasts into thick strips. Pat them dry with paper towels.

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

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
