Method

  1. Combine milk or buttermilk, red powder, brown powder, and crumbled solid in a bowl; stir with a fork until a uniform pinkish‑brown paste forms (marinade).

  2. Add the raw chicken breast cutlets to the pinkish‑orange marinade and coat evenly.

  3. Place white flour in a separate clear bowl.

  4. Dredge each marinated chicken piece in the flour, pressing to coat fully.

  5. Heat oil in a deep pan until bubbling.

  6. Carefully lower the flour‑coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 3‑4 minutes per piece).

  7. In a bowl, combine red sauce, white cream, yellow mustard, dried herbs, and orange powder; mix until smooth.

  8. Serve the fried chicken tenders with the prepared sauce for dipping.
