Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb 680 grams chicken tenders/mini fillets
  • 1 cup plain/all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 and 1/4 cup of Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or sea salt flakes or 1/2 tsp fine salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 chopped tbsp fresh parsley optional
  • 1 cup sunflower oil or vegetable oil or canola oil

Instructions

  • To a mixing bowl, add the chicken tenders and the seasoning (paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder) and mix until they’re all evenly coated.
  • Set up the breading station, adding the flour to a bowl, the beaten eggs to a second bowl, and the Panko breadcrumbs to a third bowl.
  • Coat each chicken tender first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the Panko breadcrumbs, and set them all on a plate.
  • To a pan over medium-high heat, add the frying oil. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken tenders.
  • Cook the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on one side and then flip and cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked (but still juicy) on the inside and crispy and brown on the outside.
    You may have to do 2-3 batches, depending on how big your pan is.
  • Remove the cooked chicken tenders to a plate with paper towels on it or a cooling rack, and you can add some additional sea salt flakes and chopped fresh parsley on top of them.
  • After a minute or two, transfer them to a serving platter and add some chopped fresh parsley (optionally).
