Chicken Tenders

BBQ Dipping Sauce

Method

Chicken Tenders Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Make sure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken tenders and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

BBQ Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add more vinegar for tang, or more sugar for sweetness.
