Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
2 cups buttermilk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups peanut oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Soak chicken tenders in buttermilk for 20 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While chicken is soaking, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, mustard powder, paprika, and pepper in a large brown bag.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Drain chicken and shake lightly to remove excess buttermilk. Chicken should still be damp. Drop chicken into the bag of seasoned flour and shake until well coated.
Drop chicken into hot oil, about 6 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your pot. Cook until golden brown, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still warm.

Use buttermilk that is at least 24 hours old, or make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Soak the chicken strips in the buttermilk for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken to stay moist and tender during frying.
Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for frying the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and sticking together.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also help it to cook evenly.
Fry the chicken strips in batches, and do not overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
Cook the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the chicken strips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
