Chicken Tenders

Suanne's fast food of choice is fried chicken (specifically nuggets at Wendy's! So this week, when Steve had extra chicken and Suanne had extra breadcrumbs, we decided to be evil and make our own!

Chicken Tenders

2 chicken breasts, cut horizontally into strips
1.5 cups of breadcrumbs
3 or 4 eggs
seasonings! 
2 cups corn or veggie oil for frying (optional - baking is better)

1. Prep the chicken
2. Put the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Add dry seasonings as you like. Maybe a teaspoon of curry, or paprika. Maybe rosemary and thyme. How about garlic pepper? Have some fun with it! Plain is cool too. 
3. Crack the eggs into a bowl. If you have it, add a few tablespoons of milk. Mix well!
4. Heat the oil in a pan on medium high heat - be careful since frying creates a lot of smoke. We only used about 2 cups so the oil would come up halfway a piece of chicken.
5. Dip the chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs. Place the chicken off to the side as you continue dipping your strips.
6. When the oil is shimmery, and a drop of egg in the oil sizzles, the oil is ready. Take the chicken tender and dip it once more into the egg, then into the oil.
7. Fry until dark golden brown, then flip so the other side cooks too.
8. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.
9. Mix up some spicy ketchup and enjoy!
