Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup everything bagel seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Prepare your breading station: In one shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel. Coat each tender first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when it shimmers or reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
