To make Church's chicken tenders, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 lb of chicken breast tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Here is the step-by-step process to make Church's chicken tenders:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried sage. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then, add the buttermilk to the beaten egg and whisk together to combine.
3. Take each chicken tender and dip it into the wet mixture (egg and buttermilk), ensuring it is coated well.
4. Now, take the coated chicken tender and roll it in the dry flour mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure proper coating.
5. Place the coated chicken tenders on a plate or wire rack and allow them to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the coating adhere to the chicken properly.
6. In the meantime, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to around 350-375°F (175-190°C).
7. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the coated chicken tenders into the oil one by one, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
8. Fry the chicken tenders for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them once to cook evenly.
9. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
10. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken tenders.
Now, your homemade Church's chicken tenders are ready to be served. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a dipping sauce, or in sandwiches.
