Method

For the Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

For the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well combined.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the honey mustard sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the crispy chicken tenders.
