Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim and Cut Chicken

    Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and slice them into tenders, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Stations

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with breadcrumbs.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
