Here’s a simple and crispy Chicken Tenders 🍗 recipe—perfect for a quick snack or meal:
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken tenders or chicken breast strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coatings
- Bowl 1: Flour
- Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
- Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
- Coat the Chicken
- Dredge chicken in flour → dip in egg → coat with seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Chicken
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry chicken tenders for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature 75 °C / 165 °F).
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with ketchup, honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
✅ Tips:
- For extra crunch, double coat: flour → egg → breadcrumbs → egg → breadcrumbs.
- You can bake instead: 200 °C (400 °F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Add grated Parmesan or chili powder to breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
