Fried Chicken Bites Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Bites

    Working in batches, fry the chicken tenders for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried chicken bites warm with ranch dressing or ketchup and a side of fresh fruit.
