Prep Time: 45 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 55 mins

Ingredients:

2lbs Chicken Tenderloins, washed and cleaned

1 tbsp Garlic Powder

1 tbsp All Purpose Seasoning

1 tbsp Chicken Seasoning

2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)

2 tsp Black Pepper

2 cups Flour

3/4 cup Cornstarch

1 pint Buttermilk

Salt (optional)

Honey Hot sauce:

Hot Sauce

Honey

2 tbsp unsalted Butter

Directions:

In a bowl combine the chicken with 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder, 1/2 tbsp All Purpose Seasoning, 1/2 tbsp Chicken seasoning, 1 tsp Black Pepper, 1 tsp Cayenne pepper (for some extra heat) and a pinch of salt if needed. Season properly and then cover the chicken in enough Buttermilk and at least 1/2 cup hot sauce. Allow to marinate for 4 hours-overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat enough oil in a pot to deep fry the chicken. 

In a separate container combine the flour, cornstarch, salt (optional), 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder, 1/2 tbsp Chicken seasoning, 1 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional) and 1 tsp Black pepper.

Now dip each chicken in the flour mixture and coat it and be sure to shake of any excess flour. 

Place them in the oil to fry for about 10 mins or until they become nice and golden. Try not to overcrowd the pot as this may cause the temperature of the oil to drop. Fry them in batches if necessary. Place them on a wire rack to drain of any excess oil once they are done.

In a sauce pan prepare the Honey hot sauce by melting 2 tbsp Butter with as much honey and hot sauce as you’d like. Allow to simmer for about 5 mins over a medium low heat.

Drizzle the sauce over each piece of chicken tender and serve right away with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.
