Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken tenders
- 2 cups Cornflakes
- 1 cup Slivered almonds
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Vegetable oil
- Honey mustard (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Place the cornflakes and slivered almonds in a food processor. Pulse until they are finely ground and resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a third dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken tenders. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip each floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Finally, press the chicken into the cornflake and almond mixture, ensuring an even coating. Repeat with all the chicken tenders.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Carefully place a few coated chicken tenders into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temperature).
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken tenders, adjusting the oil temperature as needed.
Serve immediately with honey mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
