Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Tenders:

1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the Honey Mustard Dip:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Tenders:

    - Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

      Bread the Chicken:

        - Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, coating completely. Shake off excess flour. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere well. Set aside on a plate or parchment paper.

          Fry the Chicken Tenders:

            - In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat (around 350°F/175°C). Carefully add chicken tenders in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

              Make the Honey Mustard Dip:

                - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust sweetness and tanginess by adding more honey or mustard as preferred.

                  Serve:

                    - Arrange the crispy chicken tenders on a serving platter and serve with the honey mustard dip on the side.
