Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) - this finishes them off perfectly after frying.

Step 2

Mix your coating: In a shallow bowl, combine chopped pecans, breadcrumbs, flour, and all those lovely spices.

Step 3

Egg wash station: Beat those eggs in another bowl until completely smooth - no streaks!

Step 4

Dip and coat: Working one at a time, dunk each tender in egg, let excess drip off, then press firmly into pecan mixture. Really pack it on there!

Step 5

Pan-fry to golden perfection: Heat oil in skillet over medium heat (not too hot!). Fry 2-3 minutes per side until you see that gorgeous brown crust form.

Step 6

Finish in the oven: Transfer to a baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes until juices run clear when pierced.
