Method
Prepare Chicken Tenders
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken tenders and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
Prepare the Breading
In another bowl, mix together flour, Southern seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain the Chicken
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the Fries
Cook the Fries
Prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions, usually by baking or frying.
Season the Fries
Once cooked, season the fries with salt to taste.
Serve
Plate the Dish
