Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and lastly into the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each strip is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with your choice of sauce: Hot Cayenne Tapatio, Buffalo, Sriracha, Buttery Cajun, Maple Sriracha, Southern BBQ, Teriyaki, Garlic Parm, Sweet Chili, or The Spicy Shark Buffalo.
