Hello there. I'm going to try my buterrmilk marinated spicy chicken tenders again tonight and have a question regarding oil cooking temp.
They will be dipped in flour, then egg, then pank crumbs and lightly pan fried in oil, hopefully flipping them only once. The size of the tenders is small.
I was told to use 375Degree oil for these tenders in this light pan fry.
Thing is, i dont have a thermometer for that, so can someone using their past knowledge and experiences or whatever, estimate to me what setting on their stove this would be?
I was thinking around MEDIUM HIGH. is this correct? My skillet goes 2-4-6-8-HIGH, with little dashes in between. So maybe oil on SEVENISH?
This is not a a precise answer i need just a general guideline and i will not hold it against you if you offer something wrong. Just give me a ballpark on how high to heat this oil for frying up these tenders.
Also, i was thinking around 1/4 inch of oil? What do you think?
