1
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.
2
Set Up Breading Stations
In three shallow bowls, set up your breading stations: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with bread crumbs.
3
Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the bread crumbs. Ensure each strip is fully coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the coated chicken strips to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
