Crispy Chicken Tenders with Dipping Sauce

Instructions:

1. Marinate Chicken:
   In a bowl, combine chicken tenders, buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for best flavor).
2. Breading Setup:
   Set up 3 bowls:
   • Flour in one
   • Beaten eggs in the second
   • Breadcrumbs in the third
3. Coat Tenders:
   Remove chicken from marinade. Dip each piece in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press firmly to adhere.
4. Fry:
   Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken tenders in batches for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 75°C). Drain on paper towels.
