Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 cup buttermilk for marinating
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tbsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Begin by marinating the chicken strips in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Take the marinated chicken pieces and coat them thoroughly in the flour mixture.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider a double-dip in the buttermilk and flour. Serve with honey mustard for a sweet kick!
