Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, pickle juice, canola oil, and seasonings. Beat vigorously for about 1 minute until eggs are well-beaten and mixture is foamy.
- 2
Add flour and whisk until well blended. Mixture should be about the consistency of a thin pancake batter
- 3
Add all the chicken. to the mixture. Churn by hand for about 1 minute to work mix into the tenders. Let sit for at least 15-30 minutes. (Or refrigerate for several hours)
- 4
Heat 3-4 quarts of frying oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven to 350° F. (Tip: The heavier the pan, the better. A heavy pan will retain heat and maintain consistent oil temperature)
- 5
Working in small batches, Lower tenders into the oil gently and slowly, so not to splash hot oil or knock the batter off. Avoid putting too many pieces in at one time.
- 6
Fry for 6-8 minutes (depending on size of pieces) until dark golden brown. Pieces will start to float as they near doneness. As the pieces start to float, gently move and rotate them to ensure even finish of the crust.
- 7
Remove tenders with tongs (or spider), allow for drip for a few seconds, and place on a wire rack over sheet pan to cool. Make sure to arrange in a single-layer so pieces cool evenly and to prevent moisture from condensing. Moisture will ruin the crunch of the batter!
- 8
Repeat frying until all the chicken is cooked. Make sure to allow oil to come back up to 350 degrees between batches. Frying in too cold of oil will make the chicken greasy and the crust won’t get as crunchy.
- 9
Lightly sprinkle chicken with sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste, after frying. Enjoy!

I copied a dish that an Italian chef made on TV and it was a huge hit with my family I couldn't remember all of the ingredients, but I just changed the spices and it came out really good, so this became one of my easy and delicious recipes.In Step 1, if the chicken isn't thinned out, they will be difficult to cook all the way through the center.In Step 2, besides the panko and the grated cheese, the amount of spices is just an estimate.I just used some pasta ingredients that I had already. If you add too much it will be too salty though so only use a moderate amount. Recipe by Keitandesuyo

Budget-Saving Fried Chicken Tenders Budget-Saving Fried Chicken Tenders
My mother made this for me many times when I was growing up. To me this is what fried chicken tenders should taste like. You can make many more than using whole tenders, and the thin pieces are easy to eat for the children. It's really a budget saver just before payday since I can make a whole mound of it.The only tip I can think of is to press the breadcrumbs onto the surface, I think. Even little children who have a hard time eating whole chicken tenders have no problem eating these thin ones.If you press too hard, though, the meat will get tough, so be careful!!! For 4-5 servings. Recipe by Padobure -
Plump & Tender Pan Fried Chicken Tenders Plump & Tender Pan Fried Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are low in calories so they're often eaten when you're on a diet, but since my husband isn't on a diet I transformed it. I thought of a recipe that wouldn't dry out the chicken and that would be delicious enough for my husband to eat.- Make sure you remove the sinew!- Flatten them out well (about as thick as a chicken nugget).- This time I let them marinate overnight and cooked them in the morning for bentos. I always marinate and store a large batch and then just cook the amount that I want to use for dinner or bentos! For 3 servings. Recipe by Noriakikun no tsuma
