Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or potato chips
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil for frying

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken tenders dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour mixed with spices, whisked eggs with milk, and a combination of panko and crushed cornflakes.
  3. Coat each tender in the flour, dip in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry tenders in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, hot sauce, garlic powder, and lemon juice.
  7. Serve the crispy chicken tenders with dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crunch, double-coat the tenders. Fry in batches to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven for best texture.
