Ingredients

Twisted Tenders

Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk and egg. Add chicken tenders and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Set Up the Breading Station

In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your breading mixture.

3. Bread the Chicken Tenders

Remove chicken from the marinade and allow excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each tender in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

4. Heat the Oil

In a deep pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry the Chicken Tenders

Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve

Plate the chicken tenders with your choice of ranch dressing or BBQ sauce, along with your selected side and drink.
