Method

Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

French Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Soak Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 8

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 9

    Fry Potatoes

    Add the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Apple Sauce

  1. 10

    Prepare Apples

    Peel, core, and slice the apples into small pieces.

  2. 11

    Cook Apples

    In a saucepan, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 12

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the apples are soft.

  4. 13

    Mash Apples

    Using a fork or potato masher, mash the apples to your desired consistency. Let cool before serving.
