Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting the chicken breast into tender strips. Try to make them uniform in size for even cooking.
- In one bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. This will act as the glue for your chicken tenders.
- Dip each chicken strip first in the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken tenders and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked chicken tenders from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
Notes
Substitutions can include using whole wheat flour or baking in an air fryer for a lower-fat alternative. Ensure oil is hot before adding chicken to achieve crispy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
