Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In a shallow dish, combine flour and cornstarch. Dredge marinated chicken tenders in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chicken tenders hot with pickles and house sauce on the side.
