Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

  2. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk with a few tablespoons of buffalo sauce.
  3. Dip each chicken tender in the buttermilk mixture, then coat it in flour, followed by buffalo sauce, and dredge it in breadcrumbs.
