Preparation

Step 1

Preparation
•Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a glass bowl (do not use metal) and mix. Add chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
•To make the dredge, in a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients, drizzle in the ¼ cup of buttermilk (this should make little lumps in the dredge. Heat oil in a deep skillet on medium high. The oil should be about 1 inch deep in the pan. The oil should be hot, but not too hot or the coating will burn before the chicken is done.
•Pull the chicken out of the marinade and coat in the dredge. Place tenders in the hot oil. Only fry a few at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
•Remove from oil and place on cooling rack until ready to serve.
