Chicken Tenders Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one; beaten eggs in another; and breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, then into the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Tenders

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

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