Fried Chicken Tenders image

This recipe came from my "Where's Mom Now That I Need Her?" cookbook. The recipe calls for one whole fryer chicken, but I usually just use four skinless chicken breasts. This way, I have breading left over for the next time I want to make this dish.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 chicken breasts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup biscuit mix
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 dash pepper
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 broiler-fryer chicken
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • While oven is preheating, place 1/2 cup butter or margarine in 9x13 baking dish. Place in oven just until melted.
  • Combine biscuit mix, salt, paprika, and pepper in small mixing bowl.
  • Place the amount of breading you'll be using in a paper bag. (Whole recipe will coat one whole fryer chicken or about 8 chicken breasts). Place the remainder in a plastic baggie for use at a later time.
  • Cut chicken into pieces about 1 inch thick.
  • Place chicken pieces in paper bag of breading one at a time and shake to coat.
  • Place coated pieces in baking dish with melted butter or margarine.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake for an additional 10 minutes. If using a convection oven (which is what I use) you'll only need to bake the chicken at 400 for about 40 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (I prefer honey mustard).
