Why Eat Chicken Tenders When You Could Have Chicken Parm Dippers?

If you want a fun and easy meal that whips up quick you have to make these Homemade Chicken Tenders. The whole family will love them.

Homemade Chicken Tenders

chicken

all purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

buttermilk

hot sauce

In a medium-sized bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, mix together well and set aside. In another medium-sized bowl add the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce, whisk together until fully combined.

Place about 3 inches of oil into a heavy bottom skillet with deep sides, I also like to use a dutch oven for this. Bring the oil up to temperature over medium-low heat. Oil temperature should be around 325°F.

While the oil is heating, dredge the chicken tenders by placing the tenders one at a time into the flour mixture. Coat the tender well, shake off any excess flour. Dip the tender into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the tender back into the flour mixture and coat well, pat the flour down onto the tender to form a good crust.

Once the oil is ready, carefully place the tenders into the hot oil, do not crowd the pan, you will have to do this in batches. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and they are golden brown and crispy. Place on a wire rack while you fry the rest of the tenders.

I made these chicken tenders tonight for dinner and let me tell you they are the very best chicken tenders I have ever had by far from a restaurant or homemade and so moist and tender they are real pretty golden brown not a hard golden brown but soft and tender I even had to substitute the buttermilk with 3/4  sour cream they turned out amazing

Use flour with seasonings for first dredge. Then dip in egg/milk mixture. Add panko to the flour for final dredge. Awesome!

If you want to change it up add sesame oil and red crushed pepper and serve over thin noodles. Also add a splash of worstershire and soy sauce toss and serve.

I made these last night and OMG… the best ever. So tender and juicy. 
I didn’t have any buttermilk but I had some heavy cream on hand and I always keep lemons so I made my own buttermilk. Delicious. Thank you for this recipe.

This was so easy and delicious! I did add some Panko bread crumbs to the dry mixture.

Always looking for new chicken ideas ~ these were great ~ restaurant quality 🙌
Thanks for sharing!

These were amazing!! I was so surprised at how easy it was and how delicious they were. My family loved them and I am making them again this week.

I have never used buttermilk to fry anything. OMG these were so tender and tasty. My husband wants to
know when we can have them again. 
Thanks for the great recipe.
