Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken tenders cut into 1-inch strips
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 3 cups bread crumbs preferably panko
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk and beaten eggs.
- Dip the chicken strips into the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat them in the bread crumbs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crunch, double coat the chicken strips by repeating the buttermilk and bread crumb steps.
