Time 2h13m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons seasoned salt, divided
16 chicken breast tenders
2 cups panko bread crumbs
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix buttermilk and 1 tablespoon seasoned salt together in a bowl. Stir in chicken tenders. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 6 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels; place a cooling rack on sheet and set in oven.
  • Mix remaining 1 tablespoon seasoned salt, panko bread crumbs, and pepper together in a large, flat bowl.
  • Remove tenders from marinade one at a time and shake to remove excess buttermilk. Roll pieces in panko mixture and place on a large platter.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 370 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time in hot oil until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack in oven to keep them warm as you fry.

These chicken tenders were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred to marinate them for longer. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken tenders, but these were actually really good! The buttermilk marinade made them really tender and juicy, and the deep frying gave them a nice crispy coating. I would definitely make these again.

I've tried many different recipes for chicken tenders, but this one is by far the best. The buttermilk marinade makes the chicken so tender and juicy, and the deep frying gives it a crispy, golden-brown crust. I highly recommend this recipe!

These chicken tenders were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to bake them instead of deep frying them. Otherwise, the flavor was good.
