Crispy Chicken Tenders Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.

Set Up Breading Stations

In one bowl, add the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the bread crumbs.

Bread the Chicken

Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil

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

Fry the Chicken Tenders

Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve

Remove the chicken tenders and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of side.
