- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt

- In a second bowl, beat the eggs.

- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken tenders in batches for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove tenders and drain on paper towels.
- For the dipping sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika until smooth.

Notes
For an extra crispy texture, let the breaded tenders rest in the fridge for 15 minutes before frying. You can also bake them at 400°F for 20 minutes as a healthier alternative.
