**Instructions:**

1. **Preheat the Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). This will keep the cooked chicken tenders warm while you fry the remaining batches.

2. **Prepare the Breading Station:**

   - Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. **Bread the Chicken:**

   - Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess.

   - Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

   - Roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.

4. **Heat the Cooking Oil:**

   - In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches around 350°F (175°C).

5. **Fry the Chicken Tenders:**

   - Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
