Tenders Recipe

Directions for Preparing Chicken Tenders

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Start by trimming the chicken breast to remove any fat or tendons. Cut the chicken into strips about 1 inch wide.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

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

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken

   Coat each chicken strip in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

5. 5

   Fry the Tenders

   Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. 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 from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
