      \u00a0Instructions<\/h3>\n

      \u00a0Prepare the Chicken<\/h4>\n

      Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. If using chicken breasts, slice them into long strips.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0Prepare the Breading Stations<\/h4>\n

      Set up three bowls:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Bowl 1:<\/strong> Flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n
      • Bowl 2:<\/strong> Eggs and milk whisked together.<\/li>\n
      • Bowl 3:<\/strong> Breadcrumbs (add a pinch of salt and Italian seasoning if desired).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u00a0Coat the Chicken<\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture.<\/li>\n
        2. Dip it into the egg mixture.<\/li>\n
        3. Coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly so they stick well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a0Fry the Chicken<\/h4>\n
            \n
          • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil<\/strong> in a deep skillet to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          • Fry the chicken tenders in batches for 3\u20134 minutes per side<\/strong> until golden brown and fully cooked.<\/li>\n
          • Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            (Optional: You can also bake them at 400\u00b0F for 18\u201320 minutes or air-fry at 375\u00b0F for 12\u201315 minutes.)<\/em><\/p>\n

            Make the Dipping Sauce<\/h4>\n

            In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper<\/strong> until smooth.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0Serving Suggestions<\/h3>\n

            Serve the crispy chicken tenders hot with the dipping sauce. They also pair great with:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • French fries<\/li>\n
            • Coleslaw<\/li>\n
            • Mashed potatoes<\/li>\n
            • Fresh salad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Tip:<\/strong> For extra crispy tenders, double-coat the chicken by dipping it again in the egg and breadcrumbs before frying.<\/p>\n
