Chicken Tenders Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into tenders and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with cornstarch.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken tender in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each 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 with your choice of dipping sauce.
