Enjoy these crispy chicken tenders paired with a tangy and flavorful dipping sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Cut the chicken breasts into even-sized strips.
Cutting the chicken into uniform strips ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken strips and marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Marinating the chicken enhances its flavor and tenderness.
In another bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Sifting the flour mixture ensures a smooth coating.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and coat each piece in the flour mixture.
Press the chicken into the flour mixture for a thicker coating.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per batch.
Avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain the oil temperature.
Drain the fried chicken on paper towels and place on a serving platter.
Serve immediately for the best crispiness.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, paprika, and black pepper. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Adjust the hot sauce quantity to suit your spice preference.
Serve the chicken tenders with the dipping sauce on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
