Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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.
