Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1½ pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 2½ cups buttermiilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • Soak chicken strips in buttermilk for about 2 hours before preparing the tender strips. Soak overnight for the best results.
  • Make the seasoned flour by combining flour, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Stir until it is well blended.
  • Make a batter of the seasoned flour and buttermilk by pouring in about ½ cup of the buttermilk into the flour. You want the batter a little shaggy.
  • Coat the chicken with the batter and place it on a rack and allow it to dry. The batter may fall off when cooking if you don't allow the batter to dry a bit before frying.
  • Discard remaining buttermilk. 
  • Heat oil to 350 degrees.
  • Gently place 3 or 4 breaded chicken tenderloins into the hot oil. Cook chicken tenders a few at a time until they are golden brown.
  • Drain the fried chicken tenders on a clean wire rack.
  • Serve with gravy or honey mustard sauce.
