Ingredients 

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cups canola or vegetable oil, or as needed
1 pound Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Tenders

Instructions 

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in water and vinegar.

Pour oil into a medium skillet to depth of about 3/4 inch. Heat over medium heat until 350°F or until a drop of water dropped into the pan sizzles.

Dip chicken tenders into batter. Add 4 tenders at a time to the hot oil; fry, turning with tongs, for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked. (If strips brown too quickly, remove skillet from heat for a few minutes to reduce temperature of the oil.)

Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Tips 

Serve these while hot with a bowl of honey-mustard sauce for dipping.
