Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 lbs chicken tenders
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (for a spicy kick!)
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning

For the Crispy Coating:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch (for extra crunch!)
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder (for lighter, crispier tenders!)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Marinate for Bold Louisiana Flavor:
Mix buttermilk, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning in a bowl. Add the chicken tenders and let them marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight for max flavor!).

2. Prepare the Crunchy Coating:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and seasonings for that crispy, seasoned Popeyes-style crust.

3. Bread the Chicken:
Remove tenders from the marinade, let the excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Press firmly to ensure a thick, crunchy crust.

4. Heat the Oil:
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry to Golden Perfection:
Fry tenders in batches for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and insanely crispy. Drain on paper towels.

6. Serve & Enjoy:
Pair with buttermilk biscuits, Cajun fries, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw. Dip in Popeyes-style Blackened Ranch, Bold BQ, or Bayou Buffalo Sauce!
