Method

Chicken Tenders

Prepare the Chicken

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

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place the flour, whisked eggs combined with milk, and bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Bread the Chicken

Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then coat it with bread crumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken tenders. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Garlic Bread

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Prepare the Baguette

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves.

Toast the Bread

Place the buttered baguette halves on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Seasoned Fries

Prepare the Fries

Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Season the Fries

Sprinkle salt, paprika, and garlic powder over the fries. Toss to coat evenly.

Bake the Fries

Bake fries in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Dipping Sauce

Prepare the Dipping Sauce

In small bowls, serve ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, and honey mustard. Allow guests to choose their preferred dipping sauce.
