Prepare the Coating: Set up three bowls—one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with breadcrumbs.
Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Fry the Tenders: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken strips in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve: Plate the crispy chicken tenders with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy hot for the best crunch.
