Follow The Directions

01

Step

Marinate chicken tenders in buttermilk in a large glass or ceramic bowl in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. (Time: 20-30 minutes)

02

Step

While chicken marinates, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, mustard powder, paprika, and black pepper in a large brown paper bag. Shake to evenly distribute. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Time: 10-15 minutes)

04

Step

Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Discard the used buttermilk. (Time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Drop chicken into the seasoned flour mixture; seal the bag and shake until well-coated. Ensure each piece is evenly covered. (Time: 3 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully lower chicken into the hot oil in batches, about 6 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your fryer or saucepan. Fry until golden brown, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, approximately 6-8 minutes. (Time: 6-8 minutes per batch)

07

Step

Transfer the fried chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season immediately with salt and black pepper while still warm. (Time: 2 minutes per batch)

08

Step

Repeat with the remaining chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, flavorful chicken strips. (Time: Varies)

For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture: dredge in flour, dip back into buttermilk, then dredge in flour again.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken.
Feel free to add a dash of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a spicy kick.
