Delicious crispy chicken tenders with just the right amount of seasonings.

Ingredients

    Directions

    These crispy, golden-brown fried chicken tenders are bursting with flavor! Coated in a seasoned mix of flour, cornmeal, and cornstarch, with a touch of paprika, garlic, onion, and black pepper, they fry up perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Every bite is pure Southern comfort. Chicken tenders pair nicely with Dill Pickles, Mashed Potatoes, Cheesy Spinach Rockefeller Mashed Potatoes, Crispy Onion Rings and various dipping sauces like honey mustard, barbecue sauce and ranch dressing.

    Step1

    Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a baking rack on top to drain the chicken. In a medium skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high until it reaches 350°F. Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup corn flour, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until combined. Spread the flour mixture in a shallow dish or large plate for easy dredging.

    Step2

    In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs until well combined, then transfer the mixture to another shallow dish or large plate for coating the chicken tenders.

    Step3

    Cut the chicken breasts into tenders about 1 inch thick or your preferred size.

    Step4

    Coat each chicken tender in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs and return it to the flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

    Step5

    Place the tenders into hot canola oil and fry them until they turn golden brown, ensuring their internal temperature reaches 165°F.

    Step6

    Set the fried chicken tenders on baking racks to let them drain and cool.

    Step7

    Serve and enjoy!
