Crispy Chicken Tenders Ingredients
Method
Crispy Chicken Tenders Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips of equal size for even cooking.
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, buttermilk and eggs whisked together in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third.
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches to the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
