Chicken Tenders

Dipping Sauce

Method

Chicken Tenders Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken breasts into tender-sized strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well and sprinkle evenly over the chicken strips. Toss to coat the chicken well.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the all-purpose flour in the first dish, beat the eggs in the second dish, and pour the breadcrumbs into the third dish.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Take each seasoned chicken strip, first dredge it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is fully coated.

Frying Chicken Tenders

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.

  2. 6

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 8

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
