Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breast fillets into tenders and season them with jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each seasoned chicken tender in flour, dip into the egg and milk mixture, then coat in breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Waffles

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
