1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1-2 inches wide.
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
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
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
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
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
