How to Make Hot Honey Chicken Tenders
- Begin by placing the chicken tenderloins in a bowl with buttermilk. Ensure they are fully immersed and let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until evenly blended for a seasoned coating.
- After marinating, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- In a large pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F for a golden-brown crust.
- Carefully add the chicken tenderloins in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the tenders and let them drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce and honey. Heat over low until well mixed and warmed through.
- Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken tenders or toss them in the saucepan to ensure each piece is deliciously coated.
