Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup buttermilk Used for marinating the chicken.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For breading the chicken tenders.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning.
  • as needed Vegetable oil For frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk and then back into the flour mixture before frying. Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature for perfect frying, around 350°F (175°C). For a spicier flavor, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
