Method
Chicken Tenders
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast fillets into strips, about 1 inch thick.
Bread the Chicken
Coat each chicken strip in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it with bread crumbs. Set aside.
Fry the Chicken Tenders
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Fries
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Fry the Fries
Heat oil in a separate pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Drain the fries and pat them dry. Fry them in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
Dipping Sauce
Mix the Dipping Sauces
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot sauce. Adjust hot sauce to taste.
