Chicken Tenders

Optional Add-Ons

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken tenders and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dredge the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Drizzle with honey before serving.
