Chicken Tenders
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
