Deliciously crispy chicken tenders coated with crushed pork rinds, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 2 cups crushed pork rinds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the chicken tenderloins. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for the coating.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and the pork rind mixture in a third.
- Dredge each chicken tenderloin in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured tenderloin into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Finally, press the tenderloin into the pork rind mixture, coating it completely. Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, ensuring there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken tenders in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry each tender for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken tenders and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite spices before breading.
