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
- Marinate the chicken – Soak the chicken tenders in buttermilk for 30 minutes to keep them tender and juicy.
- Prepare the breading – In a bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Coat the chicken – Remove the tenders from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
