Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • oil, to taste, for frying
  • French fries, optional, cooked and hot, for serving

Directions

Step 1 -In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, add the all-purpose flour, the salt, the black pepper, the paprika, the garlic powder, and the onion powder, close the bag, and shake to combine.

Step 2 -Add the chicken tenderloins, reseal the bag, and toss until the chicken is coated in the flour mixture.

Step 3 -In a large bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, the milk, and the egg.

Step 4 -Add the self-rising flour to the egg mixture and whisk until combined. The mixture will be thin.

Step 5 -Pour about 2 inches of the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet.

Step 6 -Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.

Step 7 -Dip the tenders into the batter, coating them and allowing any excess to drip off into the bowl.

Step 8 -Add the chicken tenders very carefully to the hot oil, working in batches as needed so they are not crowded, and fry, occasionally flipping, until they are golden-brown on both sides and have reached 165 degrees F internally, about 6-10 minutes. Add more of the oil if needed in between batches.

Step 9 -Immediately transfer the cooked chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 10 -Serve the chicken hot, with the French fries.
