Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

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

Breading

  1. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

  2. 4

    Egg Bath

    Next, dip the floured chicken strip into the beaten eggs, making sure it is coated well.

  3. 5

    Breadcrumb Coating

    Finally, roll the chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat for all chicken strips.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 7

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 8

    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 ketchup on the side.
