Preparation Steps

  • In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • In another shallow dish, place the flour. In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

These panko chicken tenders are incredibly crispy and a crowd-pleaser. They are best served immediately.
