Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken tenders
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove extra moisture.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, coating it completely.

Step 7

Transfer the chicken to the breadcrumbs and press gently to adhere them evenly to the surface. Set aside on a plate.

Step 8

Repeat the entire coating process (flour, egg, breadcrumbs) a second time for each chicken tender to create the 'double dip'.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should reach 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully place the chicken tenders into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 11

Fry each chicken tender for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces and sides!
