vegetable oil
Stir together the flour and ranch dressing mix in a shallow bowl.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 package dry ranch dressing mix
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat well with a fork.
2 eggs
Dip each piece of chicken into the eggs to coat, then dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture on both sides.
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
Check the oil to see if it is hot enough (see pro tips in the post on how to do this) and reduce heat to medium.
Place the breaded chicken pieces into the oil a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center, turning as needed.
