Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- Cooking oil spray or 1/4 cup olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix gluten-free flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and water until combined.
- Place gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken tenders in batches without overcrowding.
- Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove cooked tenders and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crispiness, bake the tenders at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying, flipping halfway through cooking.
