Chicken Tenders
Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into tenders. Place them in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over the chicken. Ensure all pieces are coated, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Breading Station
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Bread the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each tender first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
