Oat-Crusted Chicken Tenders
Oat-crusted chicken tenders are flavorful chicken tenders coated in the deliciousness of ground oats and deep-fried to a crispy finish. They are ideal for snacking on game or movie evenings with family.
Simply cover the chicken strips with oats, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs after dipping them in ginger, garlic, and green chilli paste before introducing them to hot oil to deep-fry until they turn crispy and brown. Transfer them onto a cooling rack or paper towel-laden tray to drain the oil and pair them with tomato ketchup before serving.
