Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1-2 inches wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; the second with beaten eggs; and the third with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

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

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
