Cooking

- Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
These chicken tenders are best served hot. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or honey mustard, for a tasty treat. You can also serve them with fries or a simple salad to make a complete meal. Leftover chicken tenders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy chicken. Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
