buttermilk3 tbsp
egg1
chicken stock powderoptional1 tsp
all-purpose flour2 cups

Steps

1
Prepare the marinade by combining buttermilk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper powder, paprika powder, garlic powder, and chicken stock powder if using. Mix in the egg until well combined.
2
Place the chicken tenders in the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Marinate for at least 30 minutes; longer is better for flavor development.
3
Mix the all-purpose flour, corn flour, baking powder, paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder if using, white pepper powder, salt, and chicken stock powder in a shallow dish.
4
Remove the marinated chicken tenders from the marinade and coat thoroughly with the dry flour mixture, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
5
Dip the coated chicken tenders in cold water for about 2 seconds, then coat again with the dry flour mixture. This double-coating creates a thick, craggy crispy exterior.
6
Heat oil to 175-180°C. Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature. Use moderate heat to prevent the outside from browning too quickly before the inside cooks through.
7
Remove the fried chicken tenders and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Let rest for 5 minutes to stabilize and maximize crispiness.
8
Make the creamy garlic sauce by placing mayonnaise in a small bowl. Grate the garlic using a circular grinding motion and add to the mayonnaise.
9
Add lemon juice for a fresh kick, then add honey to balance the flavors. Optionally add mustard for an extra layer of taste.
10
Season with a touch of black pepper powder and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.
11
Stir in chopped fresh parsley or dried parsley and mix until fully combined and the sauce looks creamy. Refrigerate the sauce if desired to thicken before serving.
12
Serve the hot crispy chicken tenders with the creamy garlic sauce for dipping. Enjoy with fries, wedges, or your favorite sides.
