Servings: 12 tenders
Calories: 172kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup beer
Instructions
- Heat a large deep skillet with oil over medium-high heat.
- While the oil is heating, slice your chicken breast into 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick tenders.
- Test the oil to see if it is ready (360F) by placing the end of a wooden spoon in the oil. If it bubbles around the spoon, it is ready.
- Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel. Using a kitchen tong, dip the chicken in the beer batter. Shake off any excess and place the battered chicken in the hot oil. Repeat with all of the chicken, being sure not to overcrowd the chicken. You will likely have to cook it in a couple of batches.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and flip over. Continue cooking until the breading is done and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place on paper towels to remove any excess cooking oil.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
*Allow tenders to cool down completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an Air Fryer.
