Coat the Chicken
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the flour mixture again to ensure a thick, crispy batter.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken tenders and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
