Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons smoked sweet paprika
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
2 pounds chicken tenders
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons poppy seeds, if desired
1 quart safflower, canola or sunflower oil for frying
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Combine the smoked paprika, granulated garlic and onion, and poultry seasoning in a small bowl. Season the tenders with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 the spices to the buttermilk in a shallow dish. Combine the remaining spices with the flour and poppy seeds, in a second dish.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy pot over medium to medium-high heat, about 350 degrees F.
  • Using tongs dip chicken in the buttermilk, then the flour and repeat. Add the breaded tenders to the hot oil; do not crowd the pan. Cook the fingers in batches to a deep golden color, about 8 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature with wedges of lemon to squeeze on top.

I found that the chicken was a little dry. I think I'll try marinating it for longer next time.
