Crushed Goldfish breading for chicken tenders Recipe

American · Main course · 27 min total

A fun and crunchy twist on classic chicken tenders, using crushed Goldfish crackers as the breading for a cheesy, golden crust.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 2 cups Goldfish crackers (any flavor, but cheddar works best)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Place Goldfish crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
2. Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed Goldfish.
3. Season the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper; mix well.
4. Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dredge each tender first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, and finally coat with Goldfish crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (350°F).
6. Fry tenders in batches, without crowding, for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

• For a baked version, place breaded tenders on a wire rack over a baking sheet, spray with cooking oil, and bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Use any flavor Goldfish – parmesan or pizza work great too.
• Leftover tenders can be reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
