Equipment

  • Stove
  • Large Skillet/Fry Pan
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • fork
  • mixing bowl
  • shallow bowls

Ingredients

  • 6 large chicken tenders about 1 pound
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Lawry's Garlic Salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Instructions

  • Place 3 tablespoons Canola or Vegetable oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken tenders onto a clean plate.
  • Place Panko, Parmesan, salt, pepper and garlic salt into a small bowl. Stir to combine. Transfer Panko mixture to a shallow plate/dish.
  • Place buttermilk and sriracha into a medium size shallow bowl, stir to combine.
  • In batches, dip each chicken tender first in buttermilk mixture making sure to shake off excess. Next, press each side of chicken tender into the Panko mixture.
  • Place each coated chicken tender into hot skillet and cook both sides until crispy golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. For the last couple minutes, turn the tenders on their sides to brown both sides. Remove from hot skillet and place onto a clean plate.
    Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Make sure your skillet is preheated nice and hot before adding coated chicken tenders. This helps with that nice crispy crust.
  • The last couple minutes of cooking tenders in skillet, turn them on their sides to get all sides golden. Takes just a minute on each side.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as Ranch Dressing, a mix of Ranch Dressing and Sriracha and straight Sriracha. Lots of great options.
