Chicken Tenders & Fries Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

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

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the third.

Bread the Chicken

Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate.

Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

Soak the Potatoes

Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

Fry the Potatoes

In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato strips in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt immediately.

Plate the Dish

Place a serving of chicken tenders and fries on a plate. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a sweet contrast.

Enjoy!

Serve hot and enjoy your homemade chicken tenders and fries with a delightful scoop of vanilla ice cream.
