Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken tenders and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    In another bowl, place flour. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in flour. Ensure they are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Toss in Hot Sauce

    Remove chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Toss hot chicken tenders in Nashville hot sauce until well coated.

  5. 5

    Make the Mac & Cheese

    Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. In a saucepan, melt butter, add milk, and stir in white cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Combine with cooked macaroni.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    Cook fries according to package instructions or fry them fresh until golden and crispy.
