Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken tenders
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters whole milk
- 150 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 240 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Next, dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Finally, press the chicken tender into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Repeat this process with all the chicken tenders.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully place the chicken tenders into the pan. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked tenders and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the soy-free breaded chicken tenders immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
