Fried Chicken Tenders
Author: Chelsea @ Hidden Ponies
Recipe type: Dinner
Prep:
Total time:
Serves: 5
- 3-4 chicken breasts, depending on size
- 4 eggs
- 1½ cups milk (or buttermilk), divided
- 1½ cups flour
- 1½ cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp Italian spice
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Canola Oil
- Cut chicken into strips and place in a large bowl
- Lightly beat together eggs and 1 cup of milk and and pour on chicken, mixing to coat and cover chicken pieces. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Mix together all dry ingredients in a large ziploc bag, or a very large bowl.
- Pour in the remaining ½ cup milk, and mix around. This will create really yummy crunchy bits on the chicken when finished :).
- Take the chicken pieces out of the egg/milk liquid, and coat thoroughly with the bread crumbs.
- Pour oil in pan to about ½" deep. Heat over medium-high until it bubbles when the flour-coated chicken is placed in it.
- Cook your chicken pieces until brown and crunchy, doing as many at a time as fit comfortably in your pan.
- Place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil while you make the rest of them.
- Enjoy hot :) I served with a mixture of ½ cup mayo and 1 tbsp prepared mustard, and it was delicious!
