Ingredients:
1 pound chicken tenders
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetable oil, for frying
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken tenders and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for extra tenderness.
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). In another shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each tender in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip back into the buttermilk, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Fry the Tenders: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken tenders, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve: Garnish the chicken tenders with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces for a complete meal!
These Buttermilk Chicken Tenders are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor!
