Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 sandwich buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 pickle slices
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken tenders. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk.
Place breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dip each chicken tender in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it well, then dip it into the egg and buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumbs.
In a large skillet or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the chicken tenders into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and drain them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
To make the sandwich sauce, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and honey together in a small bowl.
Lightly toast the sandwich buns using a toaster or on a skillet.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading some sauce on both halves of the buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add two or three pickle slices, and top with 2-3 chicken tenders.
Close the sandwich with the top bun and repeat the process for remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately while the tenders are still crispy and hot.
