4 Hand-battered Chicken Tenders Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Start by cutting the chicken breast into tenders. Use a sharp knife to slice them into strips.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken

   Dip each chicken tender into the flour, coating it evenly. Next, dip it into the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it in the seasoned bread crumbs.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Chicken Tenders

   Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with kettle chips on the side.
