Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil, cooking 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 place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of Signature Sauce.
