Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the pan, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
Remove the chicken tenders and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve:
Serve the buttermilk chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce (like honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce) and enjoy!
Tips:
For extra crispy tenders, you can double-dip the chicken in flour and breadcrumbs.
You can bake them instead of frying for a lighter version—bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
These buttermilk chicken tenders are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or for serving at a party. Enjoy!
