Juicy fried tenders coated with a crunchy batter and a sweet, crispy Oreo outer layer.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 lb chicken tenders
02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder

→ First Coating

05 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
06 - 2 large eggs

→ For Frying

09 - 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying

# How To Make:

01 - Pat chicken tenders dry and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
02 - Arrange flour in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with milk until combined.
03 - Dredge each tender in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat again thoroughly in flour.
04 - Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F.
05 - Fry tenders in batches for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
06 - While warm, dip fried tenders again in the egg mixture, then press into crushed Oreos to coat evenly.
07 - Return coated tenders to hot oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the Oreo crust crisps without burning. Drain on fresh paper towels.
08 - Serve immediately while hot and crisp for optimal texture and flavor.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • You get that crispy fried chicken satisfaction followed immediately by cookie dessert vibes in the same bite
  • Its the kind of absurd food experiment that actually delivers on the crazy premise and impresses everyone
02 -
  • The second fry is extremely fast so watch like a hawk because Oreos go from perfect to burnt in about thirty seconds
  • Let the chicken cool just slightly after the first fry so the egg coating sticks better without sliding off
03 -
  • Add a pinch of cayenne to the flour if you want that sweet spicy kick that cuts through the richness
  • Serve with vanilla whipped cream for dipping if you really want to lean into the dessert angle
  • Gluten-free Oreos and gluten-free flour blend work surprisingly well if you need to accommodate dietary restrictions
