Part 5/7:
Once the chicken has been marinated and your masterful ranch dressing is complete, it’s time to bread the tenders. Start with a coating of flour seasoned with onion powder, followed by a dip in an egg wash, and finish with a generous coat of panko breadcrumbs. This three-step process not only gives the tenders a delightful crunch but also seals in the marinated flavor.
For cooking, shallow fry the tenders in heated oil at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. A quick two-minute fry on each side will achieve that golden brown finish. Once cooked, let the tenders rest for a few minutes before diving in.
