Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package (14 oz) uncooked chicken tenders (not breaded)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon Frank's™ RedHot™ Original cayenne pepper sauce
2 cups vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Season chicken tenders with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
  • In shallow bowl, mix flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper with whisk. In another shallow bowl, beat buttermilk and hot sauce together with whisk. Dredge chicken tenders in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk mixture, and back in flour.
  • In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot (350°F). Fry tenders in hot oil, all at once, about 5 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown and no longer pink in center (at least 165°F). Place on rack lined with paper towels to drain, with paper towels underneath rack.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Beat in paprika, red pepper and garlic powder with whisk. Brush fried chicken tenders with spicy butter. Serve with slices of white bread and sweet pickles, if desired.
