Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fry shapes.

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Fry the Fries

    Heat oil in a separate frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
