How To Make crispy chicken tenders for 2

  • 1
    rinse and dry 1 pound chicken tenders or cut skinless chicken breasts into strips. trim well.
  • 2
    put strips into a deep bowl and cover with buttermilk. it only took a cup for me. let soak for 15-20 minutes while you work on the coating and oil. if you are cooking a large amount, preheat the oven to 200 with a cookie sheet.
  • 3
    heat 1/2-3/4 inch of oil in a large pan over medium heat. i used about 2 cups in a 12 inch cast iron fry pan, get to a steady temperature of 365 plus or minus. don't be under 350 or above 400.
  • 4
    mix 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of seasoning salt.
  • 5
    now drizzle 1/4 cup buttermilk into the flour mixture while mixing continuously. you will make a shaggy coating.
  • 6
    remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat in the flour mixture. coat well and place on plate.
  • 7
    when you place the chicken in the oil, the temperature will drop. increase the heat at this point. i went from 1/2-3/4 to maintain the temperature in the 350-400 range.
  • 8
    cook in batches about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature to 165.
  • 9
    cover on plate or place in oven to keep warm.
