Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Pat dry the chicken tenderloins with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Take one chicken tenderloin and dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
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.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
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).
Remove the cooked chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
