Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs chicken tenders or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thick fingers
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups peanuts
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Season the tenders with salt, pepper and paprika. Place in a large bowl or in a large plastic bag with a zip-lock closure. Add buttermilk, mix well and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or for up to one day in advance refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with foil. Lightly oil the foil.
  • Combine the Planter's Peanuts and the breadcrumbs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the peanuts are finely ground. Empty into a large bowl for dipping.
  • Place the flour in a separate bowl. Beat the eggs until frothy in another bowl. Working with one tender at a time, lift the fingers to drain off excess buttermilk and roll in the flour, making sure it is thoroughly coated. Transfer to the bowl with the egg and turn to coat. Roll in the Planter's Peanut mixture until completely coated. Place on the baking sheets and bake, turning once, until firm to the touch and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, double-coat the chicken tenders in the peanut mixture.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.
  • To make the chicken tenders even more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Peanut-crusted chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give peanut-crusted chicken tenders a try.
