Prepare three separate shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs whisked with milk, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour first, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour before dipping it in the egg mixture. Let the excess egg mixture drip off.
Coat the chicken tender in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Set aside on a plate and repeat the process with all the chicken tenders.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Working in batches, fry the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
