Let’s Make Some Crack Chicken!
Step 1: Marinate the Magic
Submerge the chicken tenders in buttermilk. Ensure they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This tenderizes the chicken and adds flavor.
Step 2: The Flavor Bomb Coating
In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This is where the amazing flavor comes from!
Step 3: Coat Those Tenders!
Remove chicken from the fridge. Dip each tender into the flour mixture, ensuring complete coverage. Shake off excess flour and set aside.
Step 4: Fry ‘Til Golden
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Fry tenders in batches (don’t overcrowd!) for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve & Savor!
Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Keto & Low-Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb version, substitute almond flour or coconut flour for the all-purpose flour. The spices provide plenty of flavor!
Tips for Tender Perfection
- Marinate for at least 1 hour for best results.
- Use a meat thermometer; chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.

These Crack Chicken Tenders are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Easy to make, incredibly delicious, and perfect for a quick meal or satisfying snack. Get cooking!
