How to cook deliciously - Sichuan Hot Chicken Tenders

1 . Stage

Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper.

2 . Stage

Stir together Sichuan peppercorn powder, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne, and paprika in a small bowl; set aside.

3 . Stage

Pour flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together eggs and water in a second bowl. Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third bowl.

4 . Stage

Dredge chicken tenders in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip tenders in the egg mixture, and then in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on a plate and set aside.

5 . Stage

Heat about 1/2-inch vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until oil has a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

6 . Stage

Fry chicken tenders in batches, flipping as needed, until they're golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Check oil temperature in between batches so make sure it's back up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) before frying the next batch.

7 . Stage

As soon as each batch is fried, immediately season chicken tenders with Sichuan powder mixture on both sides to suit your taste; the more, the spicier.
