How to Store

Leftover chicken tenders can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain their crispiness.

Tips

  • Marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature (350°F) before frying to achieve the perfect golden brown without burning.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches if necessary to allow each tender to cook evenly.
