Method
Preparing Chicken Tenders

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk until well blended. Add the chicken tenderloins to the mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

Step 2: Prepare the Breading

Step 3: Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Dredge each tenderloin in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring an even coating. Set aside on a plate.
