Bread the Chicken
Dredge each seasoned chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Place the breaded tenders on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it shimmers. This means the oil is hot enough for frying.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
