Chicken Tenders

Dipping Sauce

Method

Prepare the Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Slice Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare three bowls: one with the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in breadcrumbs. Make sure they are fully covered.

Fry the Chicken Tenders

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make the Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended.

Serve

    Prepare the Plate

    On a serving plate, arrange the chicken tenders alongside a serving of French fries.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken tenders for garnish.

  3. 10

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the chicken tenders with the dipping sauce on the side.
