Step 1
Pat the 1 lb chicken tenders dry and season all over with the 1/2 tsp salt and a little pepper.
Step 2
Put 1/2 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
Step 3
Coat each tender in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing so the crumbs stick well.
Step 4
Heat the 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Fry the tenders in a single layer, 3-4 minutes per side, until deep golden and cooked through.
