Chicken Tenders

Honey Biscuits

Method

Preparation of Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the jumbo chicken breasts into tenders. Season them with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Stations

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each tender in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

Frying the Chicken Tenders

  1. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 6

    Drain the Tenders

    Once cooked, transfer the tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparation of Honey Biscuits

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 8

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 9

    Cut in the Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 10

    Add Milk and Honey

    Stir in the milk and honey until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 11

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it down to about 1-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.

  6. 12

    Bake the Biscuits

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
