Method

Preparing the Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Cut the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, the beaten eggs in the second bowl, and the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken strip first in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken tenders on a plate.

Cooking the Chicken Tenders

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Making the Dipping Sauce (optional)

  1. 7

    Combine the Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
