About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 cup vegetable oil
Coating
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Dipping Mixture
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- 1In a shallow dish, combine the all‑purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create the coating mixture.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg to form the dipping mixture.
- 3Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels.
- 4Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, coating all sides, then into the buttermilk‑egg mixture, and finally roll it in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5Place the coated tenders on a wire rack and let them rest for 5 minutes so the coating sets.
- 6Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium‑high heat, aiming for a temperature of 350°F (347°F). Use a thermometer to check the oil.
- 7Working in small batches, carefully lower the tenders into the hot oil. Fry for 3‑4 minutes on the first side, then flip and fry another 3‑4 minutes, or until the coating is deep golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (165°F).
- 8Remove the cooked tenders with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 9Allow the chicken to rest for 2 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
- 10Serve the hot tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Cane’s signature sauce or a simple honey‑mustard.
