Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders
  1. Combine buttermilk, optional hot sauce, and marinade seasonings in a bowl. Submerge chicken tenders and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the magic happen.

  2. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, dredge seasonings, and baking powder in a shallow dish.

  3. Fill a large skillet or Dutch oven with 2-3 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  4. Remove tenders from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each tender in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly. Let tenders rest on a baking sheet for 10 minutes.

  5. Fry tenders in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. Remove fried tenders with a slotted spoon or tongs and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.

  7. Serve immediately while they’re hot and exceptionally crunchy.
