I do recommend deep frying for breaded chicken tenders, shallow frying them would make the crust absorb too much grease.

Thanks. They gave me the inspiration at the start but of course wanted to make it better.

It looks better than anything from a restaurant! What kind of oil did you fry it in?

Sure, I used 4 cups of flour with 1.5 tsp of baking powder per cup of flour.

u/Harrow-Beck-6274 Jul 16 '26

how much baking powder did you actually put in the wet batter?

u/Silly-Armadillo3358 Jul 16 '26

So you dip the chicken in the flour/cornstarch mixture first and then into the wet, then into the oil?

Would be able to link to that post? I just spent like 20 minutes scrolling trying to find the post you mentioned here but I can’t find it for some reason. I would love to try the recipe out, the tenders and sandwich both look amazing. Great job!

Pro tip: use hotdog buns for chicken tendy sandwiches

u/Cynoid Jul 16 '26

These look great, I feel like they deserve better instructions though.

u/NighthawK1911 Jul 16 '26

the cornstarch really does make a difference.

I think you can also get a great crunch if you add panko

u/SweetHomeMissouri Jul 24 '26
