Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh chopped chives and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces (e.g., honey mustard, ranch, or spicy mayo).
Tips:
For a healthier version, bake the tenders in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Use an air fryer for a crispy texture with less oil—cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes.
Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
These chicken tenders are best enjoyed fresh but can also be reheated for a quick and easy meal. Bon appétit!
