Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1.5 lbs chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken tenders and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly for a good coating.
- Fry the chicken in batches for 5–6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain on paper towels and let rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy tenders, double dredge the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk and flour a second time.
- Use a thermometer to keep oil temperature consistent for even cooking.
- Pairs well with honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce.
