• 120g flour
• 2 eggs
• Salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste

Before we start cooking, let's make sure we have the right mood going on. Here are some essential cooking tunes to get you in the groove:

• "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees
• "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer
• "Le Freak" by Chic
• "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor
• "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire

Great! Now that we have our music set up, let's get cooking together:

Step 1: Preheat the oil for frying to 190°C. Have you done that yet? If not, go ahead and heat up the oil until it starts to sizzle and dance around like your favourite song.

Step 2: Crush the Herr's Cheestix Carolina Reaper into small pieces using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. 

Step 3: Set up your breading station by placing flour in one shallow dish, whisking the eggs together in another shallow dish, and mixing the crushed Cheestix crumbs with paprika and garlic powder in a third shallow dish. 

Step 4: Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste. 

Step 5: Dredge each chicken tender in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten egg and then coat it in the Cheestix mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure a thick coating. 


Step 6: Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the preheated oil and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 5-6 minutes. 

Step 7: Use your tongs or slotted spoon to remove the tenders from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. 

Step 8: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy your delicious Herr's Cheestix Carolina Reaper Chicken Tenders! And remember to enjoy your cooking experience with some groovy tunes!
