Take the chicken tenders one by one and dip them in the egg white then place on the breadcrumbs. Coat the chicken fingers with breadcrumbs.
Pour enough cooking oil in a deep frying pan to deep fry chicken strips. Heat the frying pan over medium flame.
Check the temperature by a food thermometer. The temperature should be 350 to 375°F. If a food thermometer not available then check the temperature by dipping a small portion of chicken. It should be float without browning.
Dip chicken strips one by one in the cooking oil. Deep fry the tenders until they make crisp or golden brown.
Remove the deep-fried chicken fingers and place them on a paper towel.
