Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into tender-sized strips. Season the strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Breading Mixture

Set Up the Breading Station
In one bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, return the chicken to the flour mixture for a second coating. Set aside on a plate.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
