Ingredients (Makes 3 Tenders)

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken – Soak the chicken tenders in buttermilk for 30 minutes to keep them tender and juicy.
  2. Prepare the breading – In a bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Coat the chicken – Remove the tenders from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat evenly.
  4. Fry to perfection – Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the tenders for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Drain on a paper towel.
  5. Serve with dipping sauces – Pair with BBQ, ranch, or honey mustard and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Homemade Chicken Tenders

  • Double coat the tenders – Dip them in buttermilk again before a second flour coating for extra crunch.
  • Use panko for extra crispiness – Panko breadcrumbs create a lighter, crispier texture.
  • Try baking or air frying – For a healthier alternative, bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, or air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
