How to make homemade chicken tenders from scratch:

Cut chicken breasts into 2"x 4" strips. Toss chicken strips in a large bowl and seasoning with salt, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs. In another bowl, add panko breadcrumbs.

Toss chicken in cornstarch to fully coat. Then, dredge chicken in egg mixture. Then, press chicken into panko on both sides.

Add oil to your skillet about 1-2 inches high. Heat oil to 350 degrees. I always use a thermometer to check the temperature.
