Homemade Chicken Tenders

If you want a fun and easy meal that whips up quick you have to make these Homemade Chicken Tenders. The whole family will love them.

I’m a chicken kind of gal, I think you might know that since I’ve said it a few times over the years. But I’m especially keen on Chicken Tenders, they are my all time favorites.

We make these often and have been making Homemade Chicken Tenders for years now, my kids love them and they always ask for them, and I’m always happy to oblige.

Some of my other favorite chicken recipes we have on the site include Baked Cheesy Chicken, Chicken Fried Chicken and Boneless Chicken Wings!

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

  • With minimal ingredients it is super easy to whip up.
  • You can fry in deep fryer or a pot of oil.
  • You can easily double this recipe for serving more people.

This is really an easy recipe and sometimes it’s a lot cheaper to make your own Chicken Tenders at home than buying them from the store.

We usually just make ours homemade anyways, because the store bought ones are just too hard and crunchy with way too much batter on them.

These Chicken Tenders have a nice light crunch to them that isn’t over powering or hard, I think they are perfect and we absolutely adore them.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CHICKEN TENDERS, STEP BY STEP:

  1. Preheat your oil to 325. In a medium-sized bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, mix together well and set aside. In another medium-sized bowl add the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce, whisk together until fully combined.
  2. Dredge the chicken tenders by placing the tenders one at a time into the flour mixture. Coat the tender well, shake off any excess flour.
  3. Dip the tender into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the tender back into the flour mixture and coat well, pat the flour down onto the tender to form a good crust.
  5. Once the oil is ready, carefully place the tenders into the hot oil, do not crowd the pan, you will have to do this in batches. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and they are golden brown and crispy. Place on a wire rack while you fry the rest of the tenders.

See how easy is this recipe! Let’s just say that it is super easy because it is. There really isn’t much to making your own Chicken Tenders.
