Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, the beaten eggs in the second, and the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle.
- 5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
