Ingredients for Chicken Tenders

Method

Directions for Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken tender in flour, then dip in the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable 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, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    While the chicken is frying, cook the frozen fries according to package instructions in the oven or fryer.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the chicken tenders hot with the fries on the side.
