Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
Canola oil, for frying
Instructions
Heat canola oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the self-rising flour to create a smooth batter.
Place the all-purpose flour in a separate bowl.
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the batter, then dredge in the all-purpose flour to coat.
Carefully place chicken into the hot oil in small batches, frying each for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce
