Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil over medium heat. Season chicken tenders with salt & pepper. Put out 3 shallow dishes and place the flour in one and the beaten eggs in another dish. In the 3rd dish, combine bread crumbs with the ground pecans, nutmeg and orange zest. Coat tenders in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture. Fry tenders 6-7 minutes. Drain the tenders on paper towels.
