Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken tenders

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Tenders:

    - Rinse the chicken tenders under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

      Set Up Breading Station:

        - In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together in the second bowl, and combine panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper in the third bowl.

          Bread the Chicken:

            - Dip each seasoned chicken tender into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, immerse it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

              Fry the Chicken:

                - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the chicken tenders in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

                  Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:

                    - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

                      Coat the Chicken:

                        - Once the chicken tenders are fried and crispy, drizzle the honey garlic sauce over them or toss them in the sauce for an even coating.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - Transfer the honey garlic crispy chicken tenders to a serving platter, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
