Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Trim the chicken breasts to remove any excess fat. Cut the chicken into strips, about 1-2 inches wide.
Set Up Breading Station
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Cooking
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
