Ingredients
 

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.
