Chicken Tenders

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up the breading station: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, one with beaten egg and milk, and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in bread crumbs. Make sure each strip is well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 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.
