Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture until well-coated and add to the pan in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. When golden brown, turn and cook the other side until golden-brown

Remove and drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.

Serve hot with salad and sauce of your choice. Great with aioli.

Freezer-friendly instructions:

The cooked chicken tenders can be frozen for up to 3 months. No need to defrost; put the chicken tenders on a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 180 C oven until heated through a crisp, about 25 minutes. (Turn the chicken halfway through baking.)
