Method

Crispy Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Batter the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender into the buttermilk, then into the flour mixture, coating well. Repeat for all tenders.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

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

    Make the Batter

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.
