Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon Tobasco hot sauce
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders (about 10 tenders)
vegetable oil or shortening for frying (at least 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Be sure that chicken is thawed completely, drained, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Fill a dutch oven or heavy stock pot with at least 4 inches of oil, preferably 6". Heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (this will take 15 minutes or so) Get the oil heating while preparing the chicken.
  • In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk and hot sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder in a shallow bowl or on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Dip each side of the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture and back into the flour mixture. For extra breading, repeat this process one more time.
  • Carefully drop one chicken piece at a time into heated oil and fry until cooked through (the center should reach 165°F). The outside should be deep golden brown and crispy. Maintain an oil temperature of 350°F for best results. The chicken tenders will cook through in about 5 minutes. I've found that as long as the oil temperature is maintained correctly, the chicken will be cooked by the time the breading is a deep golden brown.
  • Place cooked chicken on paper towels or brown paper bags to soak up excess oil.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Fried coating is best right after cooking. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer to re-crisp the breading.

FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS



Fried Chicken Tenders image

Nice and crispy and a tad spicy, the perfect appetizer. The trick to perfect fried chicken is to control the temperature of your oil. Too hot and the food burns before it's fully cooked, too cool and it won't get crispy and it will get very greasy. Use a deep-fry thermometer and a heavy pot so that when you add the food the temperature won't drop too drastically. Brining the chicken is the best way to make it juicy and flavorful, but I wouldn't recommend doing it overnight as that's too long. Two hours should do it.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders
1 quart water
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons seasoning salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Combine the water, kosher salt, and sugar in a container to form a brine. Add the chicken tenders and let this marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a container and mix very well to combine.
  • Mix the eggs and milk in another container.
  • Preheat your oil to 350 degrees.
  • Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour mixture and pat off excess.
  • Dip the tenders in the egg mixture and drain excess.
  • Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour a second time and set them on a plate. Put them in the fridge to dry out for about 20 minutes. This will help the coating stick to the chicken better.
  • Once the oil is hot, fry the tenders in small batches for about 5 minutes and then drain on paper towels.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces!
