Homemade buttermilk chicken tenders that are juicy, tender and crispy ### Ingredients:

1 pound chicken tenders
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
Oil for frying

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the chicken tenders to the buttermilk marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors penetrate.
In another bowl, add the all-purpose flour. You can season it with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Once the chicken has marinated, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure there’s enough oil to fry the tenders without them sticking together.
Remove each chicken tender from the buttermilk marinade and shake off the excess. Dredge them in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are fully coated.
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the chicken tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the succulent, crispy bites!

These homemade buttermilk chicken tenders are a delightful treat that everyone will love. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they’re the perfect addition to any meal or as a standalone snack. Enjoy cooking and indulge in the savory flavors!
