Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken tenderloins
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the chicken tenderloins with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Take one chicken tenderloin and dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.

Step 7

Transfer the chicken tenderloin to the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture and press gently so that the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat with the remaining tenderloins.

Step 8

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Working in batches, carefully place chicken tenderloins in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the cooked chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
