Crispy Chicken Tenders with Dipping Sauce

🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the breading

  1. In three shallow bowls, place:
    • Bowl 1: flour
    • Bowl 2: beaten eggs
    • Bowl 3: breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and Parmesan
  2. Coat each chicken tender in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere.

2. Cook the chicken

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry chicken tenders 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
  3. Drain on paper towels.

Alternative: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway for a healthier version.


3. Prepare the dipping sauce

  • Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, paprika, and hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust sweetness or spice to taste.

4. Serve

  • Serve crispy chicken tenders warm with dipping sauce on the side. 🍽️

💡 Tips

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
  • Chicken can be marinated in buttermilk for 30 minutes before breading for more tender results.
  • Serve with fries, salad, or roasted veggies for a full meal.
