Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Ingredients
12 ounces chicken tenders (12)
1/2 cup hot sauce
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning

Directions
1 Preheat deep fryer to 360 degrees.
2 Combine chicken tenders and hot sauce in plastic bag. Store in refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
3 Combine flour, Cajun seasoning, and salt on one plate. Put buttermilk on second plate.
4 Place chicken tenders in flour and dredge to coat. Transfer to buttermilk, dredge, then return to flour and dredge once more. You should have a nice, thick crust.
5 Place breaded tenders on a wire rack for 5 minutes, to set the crust. If you skip this step, the crust may fall off during frying.
6 After crust has set, dredge once more in flour and drop into oil. You can skip the final dredge, but I find it makes for a crispier result.
7 Fry for 4-6 minutes until golden, brown, and delicious.

  1. Found this recipe on the web when I was looking for Rachel Ray's Buffalo Chicken Bites. To date, I haven't tried this one.
