Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Tenders

    Cut the chicken breast into strips. In one bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add bread crumbs. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

French Fries

  1. 3

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse and dry them thoroughly. Heat vegetable oil in another deep pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fries

    Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Citrus Mustard Sauce

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey, orange juice, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.
