Prepare the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, soak the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

Batter the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each tender in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders in batches for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

In another bowl, mix mayonnaise with cayenne pepper to taste.
