Chicken Tenders

Dipping Sauce

Method

Prepare Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Coat the Chicken

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken tenders in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare Handcut Fries

  1. 3

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fries

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the cut fries in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried chicken tenders alongside the handcut fries. Offer a selection of dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch dressing, and BBQ sauce.
