Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken tenders
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 30 g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 60 g Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a bowl, pour the buttermilk and add the chicken tenders. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will tenderize the chicken and add flavor.
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the breading.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the chicken tenders.
Remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat them thoroughly with the flour mixture. Press the flour onto the chicken to ensure the coating sticks.
Carefully place the chicken tenders into the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Toast the sandwich buns lightly until golden.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a crispy chicken tender.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
