Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    In batches, add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with kettle chips or home fries.
