  2. Dip the chicken tenders in the egg, then in the breading and sauté in light olive oil in a large skillet for about 4-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165F.
  3. Allow to drain on paper towels, while you finish frying the remaining tenders.
  4. Add the wing sauce to a bowl and dip the cooked chicken tenders in the sauce to coat them.  Serve with homemade blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
