Instructions
- Set out two clean plates. Line one with paper towels. Set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and water together.
- Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour, dip them into the egg mixture, then dip them in the flour again, being sure to coat them completely. Use a fork or your fingers to press the flour into the tenders. Set the tenders aside on a plate.
- Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F.
- Once heated, fry the tenders, a few at a time, in the oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to the towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Heat the butter and buffalo sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour the sauce over the tenders and gently toss to coat.
- Serve the tenders with ranch or blue cheese dressing and blue cheese.
Notes
- Storage: Store Buffalo chicken tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To make these tenders even spicier, add ⅛ teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper to the flour with the other spices.
- Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature of the oil.
- The chicken tenders are cooked when they are 165°F internally.
