Crispy Chicken Tenders
I literally cracked a secret code in making chicken tenders crispy, juicy and flavorful.
These Homemade Chicken Tenders are soaked in buttermilk and fried crisp are super flavorful, moist and extra crispy on the outside.
Plus with spices like the kinds you’d get at KFC they are perfect for replacing fast food cravings and even game day parties.
Plus I have directions for an oven baked version too, so there can be no feeling guilty about indulging in this awesome chicken fingers recipe.
