Chicken Tender Basket Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with a mixture of eggs and milk, and the last with bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare fries according to package instructions or fry your own. Keep warm.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the chicken tenders in a basket with fries and coleslaw on the side. Serve with honey mustard sauce for dipping.
