Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, allowing it to reach a perfect temperature for frying.
- Prepare your breading station by placing flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a third bowl filled with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Coat a chicken strip in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the tenders from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispy coating, consider double breading by coating the chicken in flour and egg again before adding the breadcrumbs.
