Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the chicken breasts into strips.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, prepare the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip into the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry Chicken Tenders

    Fry the chicken tenders in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Bake (Optional)

    For extra crispiness, place fried tenders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot with honey mustard and BBQ sauce on the side.
