Ingredients

Make sure you have the following ready before you start:

IngredientAmount
Chicken tenders2 pounds
Buttermilk1 cup
All-purpose flour1 cup
Paprika1 teaspoon
Garlic powder½ teaspoon
Onion powder½ teaspoon
Cayenne pepper½ teaspoon
Salt and pepperTo taste
Canola oil (for frying)As needed

Instructions

1. Soak the Chicken

Add the chicken tenders to a medium-sized bowl and pour the buttermilk over them, making sure they’re well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to maximize flavor and tenderness.

2. Prepare the Breading

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful, crunchy coating.

3. Heat the Oil

Add about 1 inch of canola oil to a heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 375°F (190°C).

4. Bread and Fry

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Coat each tender thoroughly in the flour mixture. Carefully place them into the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).

5. Drain and Serve

Move the fried tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
