Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender in flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the Chicken: Add the chicken tenders in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
