Ingredients for Crispy Chicken Tenders

• For this delicious recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500 g chicken thighs (boneless)

• 2 eggs

• 1 tablespoon apricot jam

• 100 g breadcrumbs

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Oil for frying

Instructions for Crispy Chicken Tenders

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into even strips to form crispy chicken tenders. You can remove the bones or use boneless chicken thighs.
   

2. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, crack the eggs and beat them. Add one tablespoon of apricot jam and mix well.
   

3. Season the Breadcrumbs: In a separate shallow bowl, season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
   

4. Coat the Chicken: Dip the chicken strips into the egg-jam mixture, then coat them in the seasoned breadcrumbs until they are evenly covered.
   

5. Fry the Chicken: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken tenders in batches for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Frying in a deep pot can lead to better results and less mess.
   

6. Drain Excess Oil: Once the crispy chicken tenders are golden brown, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
   

7. Serve: Serve the crispy chicken tenders with a side dish of your choice, such as rice, and enjoy them warm! Tip: Garnish with finely chopped orange zest for a burst of flavor, perfect for meal prep.

FAQ

Can I bake these instead of frying them?

Yes, bake at around 200°C (400°F) for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway. The crust will be slightly less crisp than deep-frying, but still delicious.

What can I substitute for apricot jam?

Peach or plum jam works just as well. Warm it slightly so it brushes on more smoothly.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer at 180°C for a few minutes to bring the crust back to life.
