Bread the Chicken
Take each seasoned chicken tender and dip it first into the gluten-free flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and finally, coat it in the crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking the Chicken Tenders
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your choice of sauces.
