Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; the second with beaten eggs and milk; and the third with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Ensure the chicken is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat 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 in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Cook the Fries

    While frying the chicken, cook the fries according to package instructions or prepare homemade fries.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders alongside the fries and your choice of dipping sauce.
