Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut chicken breasts into tender-sized strips. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tenders

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken tenders in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Toss in Sauce

    Remove chicken from the skillet and toss in your choice of signature sauce until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sauced chicken tenders with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.
