Kickin Chicken Tenders Recipe

Here is a quick and easy way to light up your fried chicken tenders. Use this flour batter for tenders, wings, split breasts or anything else that you like to fry. Recipe is per pound of meat.

*1 pound chicken tenders
*1/2 cup flour
*1 teaspoon cayenne, habanero or ghost pepper powder (in order of heat levels)
*1 teaspoon chili powder
*1/2 teaspoon black pepper
*1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
*1 cup buttermilk

Rinse and dry chicken. Place in sealable container. Add buttermilk then place in refrigerator and let soak for an hour. In another sealable container that is dry, mix the flour, pepper powder, chili powder, black pepper and garlic salt. Add soaked chicken to container, seal and shake generously. Rinse and dry first container then place battered chicken back in it. Let sit in the refrigerator again for half an hour. In this time, heat the oil in a deep fryer up to 350 degrees. Deep fry chicken for about 8 minutes or until chicken is golden brown. Serve with fries, ranch dressing and/or wing sauce!
