Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken tenders
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters whole milk
- 150 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 240 milliliters vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Step 4
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Next, dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 7
Finally, press the chicken tender into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Step 8
Repeat this process with all the chicken tenders.
Step 9
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully place the chicken tenders into the pan. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 11
Fry the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 12
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked tenders and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 13
Serve the soy-free breaded chicken tenders immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
