Fried Chicken Tenders Plate Recipe

American · Main course · 32 min total

Crispy, juicy fried chicken tenders served with your choice of dipping sauces and classic sides like coleslaw and fries.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Optional: honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce for dipping

Instructions

1. Place chicken tenders in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each tender in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Shake off excess.
5. Fry in batches without crowding, about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with dipping sauces and sides.

Tips

• For extra crunch, let the breaded tenders rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes before frying.
• Leftover tenders can be reheated in an oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
