Chicken Tenders

Honey Mustard Sauce

Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the bread crumbs in the third bowl. Season the flour with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender first in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, and finally coat it in the bread crumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine honey, mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
