Chicken Tenders Basket Recipe

American · Main course · 32 min total

Crispy, golden chicken tenders served with your choice of dipping sauces, just like your favorite restaurant.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Optional: ranch or honey mustard for dipping

Instructions

1. Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko mixed with garlic powder and paprika.
3. Dredge each tender in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry tenders in batches, without crowding, for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
6. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with dipping sauces.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular.
• Keep cooked tenders warm in a 200°F oven while frying remaining batches.
• Leftover tenders can be reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
