Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then into the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
