Fried Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons water
• 24 chicken tenderloins
• 2 quarts oil for frying
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons prepared mustard

Directions

Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl, and mix with ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Place eggs and water in a small bowl.

One piece at a time, coat the chicken in the flour, the eggs and the bread crumbs, and set aside.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In small batches, fry chicken 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove chicken, and drain on paper towels.

In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Mix well, and serve with the chicken for dipping.
