Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place a few chicken strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
