Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal and ranch seasoning mix.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
