Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
Add buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together all. Then, put the boneless chicken pieces in a bowl, mix it, and cover it. Kept in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Breading
Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Then mix it well.
Dredge the Chicken
Take the marinated chicken tenders out of the bowl and put in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge the chicken tenders, so about 3-4 inches is ideal for frying.
Fry the Chicken
- Carefully lower the breaded chicken tenders into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve
Serve the crispy chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauces (like honey mustard or ranch), and enjoy!
