Chicken Tenders Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Preparation

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into strips of desired thickness.

2. Breading Station

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for bread crumbs.

3. Seasoning

In the flour bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

4. Breading the Chicken

Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

5. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.

6. Frying

Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Draining

Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. Serving

Serve the chicken tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
