Method
Preparing the Chicken Tenders
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
- 5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
