Fried Chicken Tenders

Why buy frozen chicken strips from the super market when you can make then yourself, and they're even better. 

What You'll Need:

1 package boneless skinless chicken tenders or breasts, sliced into thirds

2 cups buttermilk

2 cups flour

1 Tbsp Paprika

1 Tbsp ground mustard

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt 

1. Place rinsed and dried chicken into a bowl, cover with buttermilk.  Let soak at least 15-20 minutes, longer is fine too. 

2. In seperate bowl, add flour and spices.  Wisk in 1/4 to 1/3 cup buttermilk. It will be slightly clumpy but that's what will stick to the strips and add crunchy bits.

3.  Heat 1" of oil (I use peanut oil but canola or vegetable would work) over medium low to medium heat. 

4.  Dredge buttermilk covered tenders in flour mixture until covered nicely. 

5.  Drop into heated oil. Turning after a few minutes.  Cook until nicely browned and internal temperature of 175°.

7.  Place on paper towel covered plate to absorb excess oil. Then eat.

ENJOY!
