Preheat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
Coat each chicken tender in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain on a paper towel and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
