Fry-baked chicken tenders

MADISON, Ms-- Reports are in that a better way of cooking tenders is becoming popular. Experts say that if done correctly, produces the crunchiest and juicy tenders ever to be placed inside the mouth of a mammal.

Chuck Poindexter, new executive chef of the Catfish Report issued the following directions on this method:

"The first thing to always make sure of is that your batter is heavily coating the tenders. Weak batter- weak chef ! Next you need to lightly fry both sides of the tenders then quickly place on baking sheet and into oven at 350. Cook for 8-10 minutes, and you're golden--literally. "

While this is certainly not a new way of cooking, it is noted as especially good for the chicken tender since most are either fried or cooked over heat.

When we talk about lightly frying, how light are we talking about?

Super light- only enough time to produce a crisp layer. They should be fried "yellow" or pre-golden brown. One to one and a half minutes on each side under a medium fry temperature.
