How to Make Crispy Chicken Tenders
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you opt for baking.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.
  3. Arrange a breading station with one bowl for flour mixed with salt and pepper, one for beaten eggs, and another for seasoned breadcrumbs.
  4. Coat each chicken strip by first dipping it into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs.
  5. Fry in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side or bake for 20-25 minutes.
