1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide to create tenders.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs combined with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned bread crumbs.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle.
5
Fry the Tenders
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
