Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more for sprinkling)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 eggs
2 pounds chicken tenders
canola or vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika in a shallow dish.
1 cup all purpose flour,1/2 teaspoon salt,1/4 teaspoon pepper,1 teaspoon garlic powder,1 teaspoon onion powder,1 teaspoon paprika
Beat two eggs in a second shallow dish.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Coat each chicken strip in flour, then dip into the egg, let the excess drip off and dip back into the flour. Place the coated chicken strips on a plate.
Heat oil on medium until hot and glistening. You need just enough oil to reach half the height of the tenders.
canola or vegetable oil
Once the oil is hot, add the tenders. Cook 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Transfer the chicken tenders to a paper-towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt to taste.
Serve with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce or your favorite dip or sauce, if desired.
Notes
Tips and Techniques
Ensure the chicken is dry before breading. This will help the breading stick to the chicken better.
Do not add the chicken strips to the oil until it is very hot, but not smoking. This will help your chicken to be very crispy and not soggy.
Store leftover chicken strips tightly covered in the refrigerator. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven to re-crisp the breading. Consume within 3-4 days.
