Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into tenders, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Setup Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with 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 tender first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Tenders

    Working in batches, fry the chicken tenders for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
