Chicken Preparation
- 1

Breading
- 3
Set Up Breading Station
Place the flour in a shallow dish, beat the eggs in another shallow dish, and mix the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow dish.
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Cooking
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
