Fried Chicken Tenders

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Marinating the Chicken

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

2

Preparing the Breading

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

3

Coating the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge each tender in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

4

Frying the Chicken

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

5

Draining the Chicken

Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
