Farmer's Recipe: Eggplant and Chicken Tender Skewers (Kushiage)

Farmer’s KEIKO
Farmer’s KEIKO @cook_40042549

When thinking about what kind of meat pairs well with eggplant for kushiage (deep-fried skewers), I thought chicken tenders would be perfect since they're just as tender. It turned out to be a great match!
Recipe background:
I originally planned to make eggplant kushiage with pork loin, like regular kushi katsu. But eggplant fries up juicy and soft, and pork loin would overpower that tenderness. So I ended up using chicken tenders instead.
