Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one dish; whisk the eggs with milk in the second dish; and place the breadcrumbs in the third dish.

Breading the Chicken

  1. 3

    Bread the Chicken Strips

    Take each chicken strip and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat this process for all the chicken strips.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Serve the chicken tenders hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
