However, to ensure they get crispy on the outside, you can absolutely pat them dry with a paper towel before adding the spices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-use-frozen-chicken-tenders\">Can I use frozen chicken tenders?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but you will have to thaw them first so they can be properly seasoned. Placing the chicken tenders directly from the freezer into the skillet won&#8217;t work; they&#8217;ll be too soggy and flavorless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-serve-alongside-these-nbsp\">What should I serve alongside these?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think my <a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/instant-pot-spanish-rice\/\">Instant Pot Spanish rice<\/a> would be delicious, as would my <a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/corn-kale-salad\/\">corn kale salad<\/a> in the summertime or my <a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/air-fryer-potato-wedges\/\">air fryer potato wedges<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage\">Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Refrigerator:<\/strong> Store leftover chicken in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. <strong>To reheat,<\/strong> place the chicken on a plate and microwave it, or place it into a skillet with a lid on top and heat it over medium-low heat until warm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8.jpg\" alt=\"cut chicken tender beside mixed greens on a platte\" class=\"wp-image-98239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pan-Fried-Chicken-Tenders-1-8-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-tasty-chicken-recipes\">More tasty chicken recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/pan-seared-chicken-thighs\/\">Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/instant-pot-bbq-chicken\/\">Instant Pot BBQ Chicken<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/skillet-chicken-coconut-cilantro\/\">Creamy Coconut Lime Chicken<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong><em>If you made this recipe, be sure to leave a comment and star rating below.
