Chicken tenders:

- flour for dredging
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Italian breadcrumbs

Dipping sauce:

Instructions
- Make dipping sauce by combining mayo, BBQ sauce, and vinegar (add salt & pepper if desired). Keep in fridge until ready to serve.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix with a fork.
- Pour breadcrumbs into a separate bowl (start with a little bit and then you can add more if needed - I hate wasting breadcrumbs!).
- Pour flour into a separate bowl and add garlic powder as well as a couple pinches of salt and some pepper.
- Trim any fat off chicken and cut it into rough strips (I butterfly the chicken first to make the process easier).
- Dip chicken pieces in the flour then the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
- Once all the chicken is battered, heat peanut oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot (drop in a little flour and watch it sizzle), add the chicken. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your pan. Cook chicken for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Notes
- If you're working in batches, cover the first batch with foil so it stays warm while you cook the rest of the chicken. It's a good idea to remove the fried chicken pieces to a plate lined with paper towel so some of the oil is soaked up before you serve it.
- Serves 2-4 - it really depends if you're having these as appetizers or for a main meal. If you're having it as a main meal with nothing else (or a small side dish) then it won't be enough for four people.
- Please be careful when frying with hot oil. I recommend using a heavy pan, using as little oil as you can get away with, and turning the pan handle away from you so that it can't be knocked off the stove.
- I can't always find chicken fillets, but they are more tender than chicken breasts, so I'd go with them if you have the option.
