Method
Directions
- 1
Prep the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

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
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
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 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.

Cook the Fries
While frying the chicken, cook the fries according to package instructions or prepare homemade fries.
- 7
Serve
Serve the crispy chicken tenders alongside the fries and your choice of dipping sauce.
