Creating Crispy Chicken Tenders at home can be simple by following these easy steps:

1. Prep Chicken: If time allows, marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk for 30 minutes for added tenderness.
2. Preheat Oil: In a large pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat.
3. Set Up Breading Station: Prepare three bowls: one with flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper; one with beaten eggs; and one with breadcrumbs.
4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken tender in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Finally, coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly for adherence.
5. Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded tenders in batches. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
6. Transfer to Paper Towels: Remove the tenders from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
7. Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes to hold its crispy texture.
8. Optional Second Fry: For extra crispiness, you can fry the tenders a second time for 1-2 minutes.
9. Serve: Once they have cooled slightly, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Following these steps will result in Crispy Chicken Tenders that are both delicious and satisfying!
