1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide to form tenders.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

3
Bread the Chicken
Take a chicken strip, coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumbs. Ensure each strip is well coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Cook the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. 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).
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the cooked chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
