Heat 2 Tbs of olive oil in a large frying pan. Meanwhile, assemble your dredging station. On your first plate pour your flour, to the second add your whisked eggs, to the third plate pour your seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
STEP 3:

Take the tender and gently coat it first completely in flour, then place the floured tender into the egg mixture until fully coated, lastly place the tender into the panko breadcrumbs and press down to ensure the crumbs are sticking, flip the tender and press again. Once the tender is fully coated in the panko breadcrumbs carefully lay the tender into the hot oil in the pan. Depending on the thickness, cook the tender for three to four minutes on each side. Place the cooked tender onto a paper towel covered plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat this process for all remaining chicken pieces.

These chicken tenders Taylor’s version were the best meal to have while I watched my favorite teams play football last Sunday night. The tenders were perfectly crispy while still being juicy and the accompaniment of the ranch and ketchup was divine. We knew Taylor Swift was good at most things, but who knew she had the best idea when it came to what to pair with chicken tenders?
The secret to getting those perfectly crispy chicken tenders Taylor’s version is all in the type of breadcrumbs you use. After many years of trial and error I have found my one and only holy grail breadcrumb: the 4C Japanese Style Panko Bread Crumbs have the perfect amount of seasoning already mixed in and the texture of the panko aids for a perfect crunch. Below I have a link to the 4C website so you can get a tin of your own.
These chicken tenders Taylor’s version crazed the internet after Taylor Swift made an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs game to see her rumored beau Travis Kelce. Taylor Swift was sitting up in a VIP box with the NFL tight ends mother, frequently referred to as Mama Kelce (Mama Kelce has sons that play for the Cheifs and the Philadelphia Eagles).
After a bit she was spotted having a bite to eat, what might that have been? Chicken tenders Taylor’s version. There is nothing crazy special about these chicken tenders Taylor’s version other than the fact that they were consumed by the queen Taylor Swift herself, but nonetheless fans have gone wild for her seemingly basic pairing of chicken tenders with ketchup and ranch.
While I may not be the craziest Swiftie (a word Taylor Swift fans use to describe themselves) in the world, I can still appreciate a good chicken tender pairing and this is definitely a winning combo. I had never been a huge ranch person myself, but after trying the pairing with these homemade chicken fingers I can confirm that chicken tenders Taylor’s version are a touchdown.
