Method

Preparation of Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Cut Chicken Breast

    Slice the chicken breast into strips approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken strips in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg.

  4. 4

    Coat Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dip each strip into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Frying Chicken Tenders

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 6

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Drain Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing Dipping Sauce

  1. 8

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended.

Serving

  1. 9

    Cook French fries according to package instructions or your preferred method.

  2. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the chicken tenders with French fries, garnished with fresh parsley, and the dipping sauce on the side.
