  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 when using a meat thermometer.
  3. Allow to drain on paper towels, while you finish frying the remaining tenders. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like Bang Bang Sauce, BBQ Sauce or Ranch Dressing!
