Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- 2 pounds chicken tenders trimmed
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Cover the bottom of a large heavy skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees (see cooking lesson below).
- In a small dredging bowl combine panko bread crumbs with onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, thyme, peppers, paprika, and salt. Small cake pans make great for dredging.
- Pour the buttermilk into a small bowl.
- Working one at a time, dip the chicken into buttermilk and then into bread crumbs to coat. Place carefully into the hot oil. Cook the chicken in batches as the skillet shouldn't get too crowded.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes and then flip, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Chicken should have a golden brown exterior and should be cooked all the way through.
- Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
