I cook crispy fried chicken tenders in three simple steps. First marinade boneless chicken
strips without buttermilk. We use mild paprika, black pepper, ginger- garlic
powder, and salt to marinate the strips. Then we coat the chicken fingers with
beaten egg and breadcrumbs. We use homemade panko breadcrumbs or Italian
breadcrumbs to make them super crispy. At the final stage, the crumbed strips
are deep-fried or baked. You can cook them by any of these methods.
To cook Chicken
Fried Recipe tenders at 375°-400°F you should deep fry them for 6-8 minutes
approximately. If you cut the chicken breast into 1-inch thick strips then they
will be cooked for up to 8 minutes. Cooking time may differ due to the
temperature and the size of the strips. Try to cook them over medium flame for
the best result.
Whether you
want to bake the chicken strips in an oven then you have to preheat the oven at
400F. Then lightly grease a cooking tray by spraying olive oil. You have to
spray oil on the crumbed chicken tender then place it on the tray. Bake them
for 6-8 minutes then flip over. Bake another 5 minutes and then broil them for
2 minutes to make them super crunchy.
Follow all
these instructions to make crispy and yummy chicken fingers. First, cut the boneless chicken breast into long and
thin strips. The thickness should not be more than 1 inch.
As chicken strips to be made without buttermilk. So we don’t
use any buttermilk for marination. We use some other ingredients replace of
buttermilk. Place the chicken
tenders on a bowl or a plate. Sprinkle black pepper, salt, hot chili powder,
ginger powder, and garlic powder, mix well with chicken tender. keep in a
refrigerator or room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes to marinade.

pinch of black pepper powder and salt then whisk. keep it aside.

Heat oil in
a deep frying pan to cook the strips. Place chicken tenders one by one if the
oil heat enough. Keep the flame medium. Fry the chicken tenders until they

towel to remove excess oil from the chicken strips. Serve the fried
chicken hot or allow them to cool down at room temperature.
