Ingredients
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cup crispy fried onions, crushed
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise (or 1 ¼ pound chicken tenders)
  • ½ cup avocado or other high smoke point neutral oil
Directions
  1. Set up your breading station: Add the flour to one shallow dish and the eggs to another, then combine the fried onions, breadcrumbs, and ½ teaspoon salt in a third dish.
  2. Season the chicken on all sides with the onion powder and remaining salt.
  3. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, tapping off any excess. Next, coat the floured tenders in the eggs, and then dip them in the crumb mixture, pressing it into the chicken on all sides.
  4. Heat the oil to 350 F.
  5. Fry the chicken tenders for a few minutes on each side until they appear golden. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  6. Serve the tenders warm, garnished with sliced lemons and/or chopped parsley if desired.
