Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love to taste crispy deep-fried boneless chicken strips with my favorite sweet ketchup. There are hundreds of boneless chicken recipes available all over the world. But today we are sharing deep-fried chicken tenders recipe.

How long to deep fry chicken tenders?

The cooking time of chicken strips depends on two different factors, the thickness of chicken strips and oil temperature. It should take 6-8 minutes when you cut the chicken tenders into 1 inch thick strips and keep the flame to medium. Whether you cut the chicken tenders into 2 inch thick strips then it should be deep fried up to 10-12 minutes.

How long to marinate the chicken strips?

As the chicken breast is the softest part of the chicken so we don,t need long time marination. To make this recipe we usually marinate the strips for 30 minutes. But you can marinate it up to 8 hours. I always prefer quick marination to make this type of fried chicken.
