Tips:

  • To achieve the crispiest chicken tenders, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/4-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and ensure that they get nice and crispy on the outside.
  • Be sure to season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper before coating them in the flour mixture. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • When frying the chicken tenders, be sure to use a high smoke point oil, such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil. This will help to prevent the oil from burning and smoking, which can ruin the flavor of the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken tenders in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the chicken tenders until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken tenders immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
