Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1–2 inches wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Take each chicken strip, first coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Working in batches, fry the breaded chicken tenders for about 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, and mustard. Mix until well combined.

  2. 7

    Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
