Chicken Tenders

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Dredging Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and bread crumbs in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with the bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
