Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each tender in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off excess flour.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
