Place the Cap'n Crunch cereal and Cornflakes cereal in a food processor or blender. Pulse until both cereals are finely crushed, resembling breadcrumbs.
In a large shallow dish, combine the crushed cereals, granulated sugar, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, and milk to create a smooth batter.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel to ensure the coating adheres properly.
Coat each chicken tender in the flour-egg batter mixture, ensuring it's thoroughly covered.
Transfer the battered chicken tenders to the cereal mixture, pressing gently to coat each piece evenly on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accuracy.
Carefully fry the coated chicken tenders in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, on the side.
