Handy Tips
- For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken: dip it back into buttermilk and then back into the flour mixture before frying.
- Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature; it should be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Ingredient Swaps
- Chicken Tenders: You can substitute with boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into strips.
- Buttermilk: Make your own buttermilk by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
