Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
