Fry the Chicken Tenders
- Combine all-purpose flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl, and stir to combine well. Set aside.
- After 4 hours, remove the chicken strips from the marinade and coat them evenly with the flour mixture in the bowl. Place the coated chicken strips on a plate and let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the coating to absorb.
- After resting, dip the chicken strips in the flour mixture once more before frying. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan to 350°F - 375°F (176°C - 190°C). Deep fry the chicken for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Drizzle the spiced oil over the chicken and serve immediately.
Spiced Oil
- After frying the chicken tenders, let the frying oil cool for 10 minutes. Combine 1 tablespoon of the oil with cayenne pepper and paprika in a small dish and whisk until well mixed.
