Chicken Tenders

Dressing

Method

Preparation of Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Cooking Chicken Tenders

  1. 4

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 5

    Fry Chicken Tenders

    Add the breaded chicken tenders to the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Preparation of Buffalo Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Once melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot, drizzled with the buffalo sauce on top or on the side. Accompany with ranch dressing for dipping.
