Ingredients for Fried Chicken Tenders<\/h2>\n\n- Chicken tenderloins<\/strong>: You can use fresh or frozen (unbreaded) tenders, but if using frozen, make sure they\u2019re fully thawed before you start the recipe.<\/li>\n
- Buttermilk<\/strong>: Buttermilk keeps the chicken moist and tender as it cooks. If you don\u2019t have it on hand, you can quickly make buttermilk<\/a> from scratch.<\/li>\n
- Flour<\/strong>: Well-seasoned all-purpose flour is the main dry ingredient for the chicken’s coating. That\u2019s all you need for flavor in our fried chicken tenders recipe.<\/li>\n
- Seasonings<\/strong>: Keep it simple. Garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika is all it really takes to flavor the flour for the chicken’s coating.<\/li>\n
- Oil<\/strong>: A neutral cooking oil with a high smoke point is what you want for frying chicken tenders. The best oils for frying<\/a> include canola, vegetable and peanut.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Make separate bowls of wet and dry mixtures<\/h3>\n

Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: This deep-frying temperature chart<\/a> lays out a lot of basics about frying up your favorite foods. When cooking chicken, make sure the internal temperature registers at least 165\u00b0 to ensure it\u2019s safe to eat.<\/p>\nRecipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Spice it up<\/strong>: Add different herbs and seasonings to the flour. Some great picks could be dried thyme, Old Bay, smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper.<\/li>\n
- Use bread crumbs<\/strong>: These seasoned chicken strips<\/a> call for bread crumbs instead of flour, and a bit of mustard mixed with the egg for dipping. They have lots of flavor!<\/li>\n
- Make air-fryer chicken tenders<\/strong>: Skip the deep fryer and give our air-fryer chicken tenders<\/a> recipe a shot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Fried Chicken Tenders<\/h2>\n
Store leftover fried chicken in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator (and here\u2019s how long cooked chicken lasts in the fridge<\/a>). There are lots of ways to reheat fried chicken<\/a>, including in an air fryer, oven or toaster oven.<\/p>\nHow to Freeze Fried Chicken Tenders<\/h2>\n
To freeze fried chicken tenders, let the tenders cool, then freeze them on a baking sheet for about two hours. Move the tenders to a freezer-safe resealable bag or an airtight container, and store in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat in a 350\u00b0 oven until warmed through and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHow do you get the breading to stick to fried chicken tenders?<\/h3>\n
To get breading to stick to fried chicken tenders, make sure the meat is dry before you dip and dredge it. Also, pat the coating into the tenders, and let them rest for a few minutes before frying them. Here are more breaded chicken tips<\/a> to help make the best fried chicken tenders.<\/p>\nHow do you get crispy chicken tenders?<\/h3>\n
For crispy chicken tenders with a perfectly golden-brown coating, make sure the oil is heated to 375\u00b0 before adding the chicken. That way the chicken starts cooking immediately, and it won\u2019t absorb too much oil. Also, don\u2019t crowd the pan. Cook the tenders in batches, and make sure the oil returns to temperature before adding more.<\/p>\n
What can you serve with fried chicken tenders?<\/h3>\n
You can serve dips and sauces with fried chicken tenders, along with any favorite side dishes for fried chicken<\/a>. Think about what you like at your fave restaurant: fries, coleslaw, salad.

Nothing like homemade goodness. This recipe touched every one of my tastebuds that loves fried chicken. The spices were just the right amount and only made the finished product delectable.<\/p>
<\/p>
Admittedly, I made a few adjustments to suit my palate. I substituted 2-3 garlic cloves (finely minced) in lieu of garlic powder, smoked paprika instead of regular paprika, 2 eggs (because I double-dipped), added a last coating of Panko (2nd dip, right?), and omitted the Parm (much to my chagrin!) due to \u201cgotta make everybody happy\u201d syndrome.<\/p>

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Make separate bowls of wet and dry mixtures<\/h3>\n
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the flour, garlic powder, pepper, salt and paprika.<\/p>\n Set up an assembly line of the wet and dry mixtures, along with the chicken tenders. One by one, dip the chicken tenders in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture, gently patting the flour into the tender so it sticks.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Make sure to press the chicken firmly into the flour, and if there are any clumps, leave them! Those flour clumps make tasty flakes in the fried chicken tenders. Another one of our favorite fried chicken tips<\/a>: double dredge!<\/p>\n In an electric skillet, cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil to 375\u00b0F. Fry the chicken tenders, a few pieces at a time, for two to three minutes on each side or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: This deep-frying temperature chart<\/a> lays out a lot of basics about frying up your favorite foods. When cooking chicken, make sure the internal temperature registers at least 165\u00b0 to ensure it\u2019s safe to eat.<\/p>\n Store leftover fried chicken in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator (and here\u2019s how long cooked chicken lasts in the fridge<\/a>). There are lots of ways to reheat fried chicken<\/a>, including in an air fryer, oven or toaster oven.<\/p>\n To freeze fried chicken tenders, let the tenders cool, then freeze them on a baking sheet for about two hours. Move the tenders to a freezer-safe resealable bag or an airtight container, and store in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat in a 350\u00b0 oven until warmed through and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.<\/p>\n To get breading to stick to fried chicken tenders, make sure the meat is dry before you dip and dredge it. Also, pat the coating into the tenders, and let them rest for a few minutes before frying them. Here are more breaded chicken tips<\/a> to help make the best fried chicken tenders.<\/p>\n For crispy chicken tenders with a perfectly golden-brown coating, make sure the oil is heated to 375\u00b0 before adding the chicken. That way the chicken starts cooking immediately, and it won\u2019t absorb too much oil. Also, don\u2019t crowd the pan. Cook the tenders in batches, and make sure the oil returns to temperature before adding more.<\/p>\n You can serve dips and sauces with fried chicken tenders, along with any favorite side dishes for fried chicken<\/a>. Think about what you like at your fave restaurant: fries, coleslaw, salad. For sauces, barbecue, honey mustard, ranch, blue cheese or sriracha mayo are just a few homemade condiment recipes<\/a> you can serve with chicken tenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What’s not to love with these crowd-pleasing golden fried chicken strips?

Fried Chicken Strip Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
What\u2019s the difference between chicken tenders and chicken strips?<\/h3> \r\nChicken strips are slices of the whole chicken breast. The chicken tender (pectoralis minor) is the tender muscle located underneath each of the chicken breasts. \r\n\r\n
What is a substitute for buttermilk?<\/h3> \r\nButtermilk keeps the chicken strips moist and tender throughout the cooking process. Instead of buying buttermilk, place 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup and add enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also substitute buttermilk with 1 cup plain yogurt. Learn more about how to make buttermilk from scratch<\/a>.\r\n\r\n
How do I get crispy chicken strips?<\/h3> \r\nDo you have soggy chicken strips? For crispy, golden-brown strips, make sure the oil is heated to 375\u00b0 before adding the chicken. That way, the chicken starts cooking instantly and doesn\u2019t absorb too much oil. Follow our helpful deep frying temperature chart<\/a> when you're whipping up a new deep fryer recipe<\/a>.","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"What's not to love with these crowd-pleasing golden fried chicken strips?

Instead of buying buttermilk, place 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup and add enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also substitute buttermilk with 1 cup plain yogurt. Learn more about how to make buttermilk from scratch<\/a>.
How do I get crispy chicken strips?<\/h3> Do you have soggy chicken strips? For crispy, golden-brown strips, make sure the oil is heated to 375\u00b0 before adding the chicken. That way, the chicken starts cooking instantly and doesn\u2019t absorb too much oil.
