1
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
2
Set Up the Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.
3
Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip, coat it in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well-covered.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
5
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips 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.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
