Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into strips and season with salt and black pepper.

2

Set Up the Breading Station

In one bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal and ranch seasoning mix.

3

Bread the Chicken

Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.

4

Fry the Chicken Tenders

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

5

Drain and Serve

Remove chicken tenders from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dipping sauce.
