Grab a baking tray spray it with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
Let the chicken sit at room temp for 15-20 minutes before breading.
Grab three plates. One the first plate, combine the AP flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, paprika and dried mustard powder. Mix well.
One the second plate, add two whisked eggs.
Begin by dredging the chicken tenderloins through the flour mixture, then the egg, then back through the flour mixture. Repeat for all tenderloins. Place the breaded chicken on the third plate.
Heat the vegetable oil over medium / high heat in an 9-inch sauté pan.
Once the oil is hot, or reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit, you can begin to carefully lower 2 pieces of chicken into the hot oil.
Flip the chicken after a few minutes. Once it is golden brown on both sides, place it on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Repeat.
