In a shallow bowl, place all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cooking
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
