For an extra crispy coating, consider double-dredging the chicken tenders in the breadcrumb mixture. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken tenders to achieve optimal crispiness. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the dredging stations: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey mustard, and black pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the flour, chicken seasoning, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, seasoning salt, and salt to taste. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a third bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and garlic salt. (2 minutes)
04
StepDredge each chicken tender: First, coat it in the egg-honey mixture, ensuring it's fully covered. Next, dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Dip it back into the egg-honey mixture, and finally, coat it generously in the breadcrumb mixture. (15 minutes)
05
StepHeat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (5 minutes)
06
StepCarefully place the dredged chicken tenders in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (2 minutes)
07
StepFry the tenders for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the breading is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (14 minutes)
08
StepRemove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil. (3 minutes)
09
StepServe immediately and enjoy the delightful crunch and savory-sweet flavor! (2 minutes)
