Buttermilk Chicken Tenders

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips and place them in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken strips in batches, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
