Method

Chicken Tenders Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast fillets into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place breaded chicken strips on a plate.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  1. 6

    Mix Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth.

Serving

    On a serving plate, arrange a bed of lettuce leaves. Add cooked fries to one side and place the chicken tenders on top of the lettuce. Garnish with tomato wedges.

  2. 8

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the chicken tender basket with the dipping sauce on the side.
