Chicken Tender Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
