FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl, and mix with ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Place eggs and water in a small bowl.
• One piece at a time, coat the chicken in the flour, the eggs and the bread crumbs, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In small batches, fry chicken 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove chicken, and drain on paper towels.

FRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Boil eggs and let them cool.
• Bake chicken tenders according to directions on package(I have also used leftover chicken in this).
• Tear or prepare lettuce as normal.
• Add cheese, tomato, and cucumber to lettuce.
• Cut chicken into bite size pieces and put into lettuce mixture.
• Dice eggs and add into mixture.
• Mix together ranch dressing and barbeque sauce(I use more than above since we love this dressing) and pour desired amount over salad.
• I do individual salads with this instead of mixing all together. The chicken tends to sink to the bottom.
• You can add whatever other veggies you want to it but my kids won't eat onions, peppers, etc so I skip them.
