minutesIngredients
- Chicken Marinade
Spice blend (to taste)
Chicken tenders
Olive oil (enough to bind the spices)
2 cups buttermilk
½ to 2 cups hot sauce (depending on spice preference)
- Flour Mixture
4 cups flour
1–2 tablespoons baking powder
Black pepper (to taste)
Garlic powder (to taste)
Onion powder (to taste)
Nashville seasoning blend (optional; e.g., from Aldi)
- Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
Honey (to taste)
¼ cup hot sauce (adjust to preference)
Directions
- Marinade
- Mix the spice blend with chicken tenders.
- Add olive oil to bind the mixture.
- Combine 2 cups of buttermilk and ½–2 cups of hot sauce (based on your spice tolerance).
- Add the remainder of the spice blend. The buttermilk will dilute it, so it won’t be too salty.
- Flour Mixture
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the Nashville seasoning blend.
- Breading Process
- Dip the chicken tenders in the buttermilk marinade.
- Coat in the flour mixture.
- Repeat the process: return to the buttermilk, then coat in the flour mixture again (a total of 2 times).
- Let the tenders rest to ensure the breading adheres properly.
- Fry the Chicken
- Heat oil to 350°F.
- Fry the tenders for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make the Sauce:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan.
- Add honey and ¼ cup hot sauce (or adjust to taste).
- Cook the mixture down and pour over the fried tenders.
- Toss to coat evenly.
