Prep Time 15 minutes
Calories 300 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • Your favorite dipping sauces (honey mustard, ranch, BBQ sauce, etc.)

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
  • Dip the floured chicken tenders in the beaten eggs, then back in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully add the chicken tenders to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For extra crispy chicken strips, double dredge them in the flour mixture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan – cook in batches for best results.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature (350-375°F).
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
