Equipment

large skillet

Ingredients

2 egg
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dry parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 ½ lb chicken tenders
4 to 6 tablespoon neutral oil

Instructions

In a shallow dish, beat eggs until well combined.
2 egg
In another shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, flour, parsley flakes, salt, pepper, and sage.
¾ cup panko bread crumbs, ½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon dry parsley flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon dried rubbed sage
Dip the chicken pieces in the egg and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
1 ½ lb chicken tenders
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 4 Tablespoons olive oil until very hot. Fry the chicken strips, working in batches and adding more oil as needed. Don’t move them around too much in the pan. Flip after about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove to a cooling rack set over paper towels to drain. Serve hot or cold.
4 to 6 tablespoon neutral oil

Notes

Use an oil that can handle high heats without smoking. That makes avocado and grapeseed oil good choices. Other options include lard, vegetable shortening, or peanut oil. You can use olive oil, but it's best not to use virgin or extra-virgin oil as they aren't at their best at high heats.
