Deep Fried Chicken Tenders My Way

Plain Jane

Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 cups Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 regular sized bottle of Canola oil

Directions

  • Get a large pot and fill it about half way with the Canola oil. Set heat to medium.
  • Rinse and cut the chicken breasts into strips, to desired thickness. (I find slicing against the grain works pretty well.)
  • Fill one plate with the flour, another with the Panko and a bowl with the eggs and milk. Stir the eggs and milk together.
  • Dip all the chicken strips into the egg wash, then place into a freezer bag.
  • Add the black pepper, seasoned salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to the bag and shake as much as needed to evenly coat the chicken.
  • By the handful, dip the chicken into the flour, then the egg wash again and finally the Panko. Continue this process until all the chicken is breaded.
  • Turn up the heat a notch, insure your oil is hot enough and then fry the tenders up. Generally it takes five to ten minutes per batch but use your judgment.
  • Serve with honey mustard or BBQ sauce for dipping and a side of garlic fries and green beans. Enjoy!!
