Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg mixed with buttermilk, and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Tenders

    Fry the breaded chicken strips in batches 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 with your choice of sides and a roll.
