Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken tenders
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Honey mustard sauce
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Add the cold water and crack in the egg. Whisk until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the proper frying temperature.
Step 4
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dip each tender in the batter, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 5
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy, and the interior reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the chicken crispers with honey mustard sauce for dipping, and optionally, ranch dressing on the side.
