1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by cutting the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3
Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip, dip it in the flour first, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each strip is fully coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
