Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 kg Chicken breast cut into strips
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning adjust to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat generously with breadcrumbs.
- Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches around 175°C (350°F).
- Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
These Cajun Chicken Tenders are fantastic served with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a dipping sauce like ranch or honey mustard.
