Mambo Chicken Tenders
Method
Mambo Chicken Tenders
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.
- 2
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, soak the chicken strips in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This will tenderize the chicken.
- 3
Prepare Breading
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 4
Bread Chicken
Remove chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the breaded chicken on a plate.
- 5
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- 6
Fry Chicken
Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked tenders to a paper towel-lined plate.
- 7
Coat with Mambo Sauce
Toss the cooked chicken tenders in the mambo sauce until fully coated.
