Prepare the Chicken Tenders:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you\u2019re using chicken breasts, cut them into strips to create tenders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Set up the Breading Station:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In one shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Bread the Chicken Tenders:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, coating it evenly and shaking off any excess.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, dip the chicken in the egg wash, making sure it\u2019s well-coated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well to the chicken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Heat the Oil:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying but not smoking. You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of breadcrumbs in\u2014it should sizzle immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Fry the Chicken Tenders:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fry the tenders for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use tongs to turn the chicken tenders to ensure even cooking. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the tenders are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Prepare the Dipping Sauces:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For Honey Mustard:<\/strong>\u00a0In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, honey, and mayonnaise until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For Ranch Dressing:<\/strong>\u00a0Simply serve store-bought ranch or make your own if preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For BBQ Sauce:<\/strong>\u00a0Use your favorite store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Serve:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the dipping sauces on the side. You can also serve with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: For the Chicken Tenders: For the Dipping Sauces (optional): Instructions: 1.
