Chicken Tenders
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Dredging Station
In one bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- 2
Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken tenderloin first into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the coated chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with fries and your choice of dipping sauce.
