Buffalo Chicken Tenders
Description
Buffalo Chicken Tenders are made by dredging chicken tenderloins first in a seasoned flour mix containing paprika, garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper, then dipping them in beaten egg and coating with breadcrumbs. They are deep-fried in enough hot oil to fully submerge and cook until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 75°C, ensuring a crispy crust and juicy interior.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo sauce is prepared by melting butter over low heat and combining it with hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, and optionally cayenne pepper for extra heat. Once the tenders are fried and drained, they are tossed in the warm sauce to coat evenly, infusing them with tangy, buttery, spicy flavor characteristic of Buffalo-style chicken.
The balance of crispy fried coating and the rich, piquant sauce makes these tenders well suited as appetizers, snack items, or part of a casual meal.
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken tenderloin
- 100 g plain flour
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
- 2 egg
- 100 g breadcrumbs
Buffalo Sauce
- 50 g butter
- 100 ml hot sauce Adjust to your preferred spiciness
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp white vinegar
- cayenne pepper Optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Dip each chicken tender first into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat them evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure there's enough oil to submerge the chicken tenders.
- Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
- Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Place the fried chicken tenders in a large bowl, and pour the Buffalo sauce over them. Toss the chicken tenders until they are well coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or alongside celery sticks and carrot sticks for a classic Buffalo chicken tender experience.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C when frying to guarantee it is cooked safely.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the Buffalo sauce to achieve your preferred level of spiciness.
- Drain cooked tenders on paper towels to remove excess oil before tossing in the Buffalo sauce for optimal texture.
