American · Main course · 35 min total

Crispy, golden chicken tenders served in a basket with fries and dipping sauces, perfect for a fun and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• vegetable oil for frying
• 4 cups frozen french fries
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup honey mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until crispy.
2. Meanwhile, set up breading station: in a shallow bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs. In a third bowl, place panko.
3. Pat chicken tenders dry. Dredge each tender in flour mixture, then dip in egg, then coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry tenders in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
5. To serve, divide fries among 4 baskets or plates. Top with chicken tenders. Serve with ketchup and honey mustard on the side.

Tips

• Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature for even frying.
• Keep cooked tenders warm in a 200°F oven while frying remaining batches.
• Substitute ranch dressing or barbecue sauce for dipping.
