Hi Friends,
I am going to fry some chicken tenders that I have dipped in Ceasar dressing and rolled in Parmesan cheese. Besides butter or and olive oil, what type of oil do you all suggest I use to fry it in? The tenders are chilling in the fridge, and I was going to run to the corner to my SUPER Walmart.
Thanks.

I would use butter.

After that, I would use grapeseed oil.

But, I would use butter.

Grapeseed oil is great (high smokepoint) but if you don't have that I would use both butter and olive oil. The oil helps keep the butter from burning but you still get the butter flavors.

Thanks for your answers. I never even heard of grapeseed oil...sounds interesting. But I do have olive oil and butter in the house.

Coconut oil would be good too.

When in a pinch I use canola oil...which makes really nice crispy chicken (or pork...which I am having tonight) tenders. Yummy!

Wont the cheese burn before the chicken has time to cook through?

[chauber]

It doesn't as long as the pieces are not too think, I use tenders, and the heat is not too high. Alot of the time I cut the strips to about 1 inch thick and fry away....it makes a really nice crunchy breading and reminds me of a seasoned flour breading.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I bet this would make great fish sticks OR cheese sticks

Also, do you just use the stuff in green cans or get real parm?

When I make something like this, I use the green can parm.
