1
In a large, shallow bowl, mix together the flour, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, hot sauce, and water.
3
Coat each chicken tender in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it again in the flour mixture, pressing firmly so the breading adheres. Set breaded tenders aside on a plate.
4
Allow the breaded chicken to rest for 3-4 minutes so the coating sets.
5
In a 12-inch skillet, pour the refined coconut oil to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
6
Carefully add three to four chicken tenders to the skillet and fry until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn the tenders and continue frying until the other side is also golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.
7
Place cooked tenders on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process for the remaining chicken tenders, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent oil from smoking or chicken from cooking too slowly.
8
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Crispy Cajun Chicken Tenders!
