Crispy Fried Chicken Tenders Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cups Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 24 chicken tenderloins
• 2 quarts oil for frying
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 3 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Set up your breading station: In a shallow bowl, add the flour. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
2. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken tenders aside.
3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. Fry the chicken tenders in small batches until they reach a beautiful golden brown color, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken to paper towels or a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
5. Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Serve the dipping sauce alongside the crispy fried chicken tenders.
