For extra crispy tenders, try double-dredging them: egg, flour, egg, flour. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level to your preference. Panko bread crumbs create a superior crispy texture compared to regular bread crumbs. Serve immediately for the best texture. These are fantastic with blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, carrots, and celery.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your Frying Station: In a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Ensure you have enough oil for the chicken to be submerged. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
02
StepCraft the Wet and Dry Mixtures: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, hot sauce, and egg until well combined. In a separate, shallow dish, combine the flour, panko bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
03
StepBread the Chicken: One at a time, dredge each chicken tender in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, transfer the tender to the flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the bread crumbs adhere on all sides. Repeat this process for each tender, placing the breaded chicken on a clean plate or wire rack. (Prep time: ~10 minutes)
04
StepFry to Golden Perfection: Carefully lower the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer. Fry for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the breading is a deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cook time per batch: ~7 minutes)
05
StepRest and Serve: Remove the fried chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. This allows the breading to crisp up even further. (Rest time: ~3 minutes)
