Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken tenders
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a separate, shallow dish.
Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the chicken tenders to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the tenders for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the tenders from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the Frank's RedHot sauce until well combined.
Toss the cooked chicken tenders with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Serve the buffalo chicken tenders with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese, and enjoy while hot.
