Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup (245 g) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups (216 g) plain panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup (100 g) parmesan cheese finely grated
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons parsley chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in a large bowl and cover with buttermilk, salt, and pepper, then refrigerate for 3 hours or longer.
  2. Let the chicken come to room temperature while you prepare the breading stations using flour mixed with cornstarch, salt, and garlic powder; eggs beaten with water; and a mixture of panko with parmesan cheese.
  3. Coat each chicken tender first with the flour mix, then the egg mix, and finally press into the panko mixture before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F over medium-low heat.
  5. Fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes each until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Drain the cooked tenders on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. Melt butter with garlic and salt in a small saucepan over low heat, then remove from heat and stir in parsley.
  8. Drizzle the garlic butter over the fried chicken tenders before serving warm.
