  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, bread crumbs, and seasonings. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, water, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

  • Dab the tenders dry with a paper towel.

  • Working with half of the flour mixture at a time, dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then in the flour. Dip it into the egg a second time and then the flour again to double-coat it. Gently press the flour into the chicken. Shake off any excess. Place on a wire rack and repeat with the remaining chicken.

  • In a large deep skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 350°F. Fry chicken in small batches until crispy and the chicken reaches 165°F, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  • Serve with honey garlic sauce or your favorite dips.

Flour Mixture: When working with the flour mixture, I find working with just half at a time worked best to keep the flour from getting clumped or wet.
Chicken: If using chicken breasts, slice them ½-inch thick.
Honey Garlic Sauce for dipping or drizzling (optional): In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup honey, ⅓ cup water, ¼ cup soy sauce, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger,  ½ teaspoon chili flakes. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and cool before serving.
