Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; and place the bread crumbs in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the bread crumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
