Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1-inch wide, to form chicken tenders.
- 2
Breading and Cooking
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip into the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off excess flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

Cook the Chicken
Add the breaded chicken tenders to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 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, place the chicken tenders on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately.

Mix Dipping Sauce
