Set Up the Breading Stations:

• In the first shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, pepper, and salt. This will form your dry dredging mixture.
• In the second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
• In the third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. The panko adds extra crispiness, and the Parmesan will give the chicken tenders a rich, savory flavor.

Dredge the Chicken:

• Take each chicken strip and dredge it in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess flour.
• Next, dip the coated chicken strip into the beaten eggs, letting any excess egg drip off.
• Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick evenly on all sides. The more even and generous the coating, the crunchier the tenders will be.

Heat the Oil:

• In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You’ll know the oil is ready when a small breadcrumb dropped into the oil sizzles immediately. If you’re using a thermometer, the oil should reach 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken:

• Working in batches, carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the tenders for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip the chicken gently to ensure an even cook.
• Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F or 75°C), remove the tenders from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Garnish and Serve:

• Once all the chicken tenders are cooked, arrange them on a serving platter. For a fresh touch, sprinkle with chopped parsley or serve with a side of dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Enjoy:

• Serve your crispy, juicy Chicken Tenders Crack with your favorite sides, such as French fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad. These tenders are perfect for lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer at your next gathering.
