Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
  • Cooking oil for frying (such as avocado or vegetable oil)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
  3. Place the gluten free breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry the chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Place cooked tenders on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

These tenders can last about 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer for best results. For extra crunch, double-bread the tenders by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
