Dunk those tenders in a spiced buttermilk mixture, then roll ’em in panko. It’s like a day at the spa for your chicken. - Fry, Baby, Fry

- Sauce It Up
Drizzle, dunk, or downright drown your chicken in that bang bang sauce. No judgment here. - Garnish and Devour
Sprinkle some parsley on top to make it fancy, then dig in while it’s hot!
Pro Tips from Yours Truly
- Keep that oil at 365°F. It’s the sweet spot for crispy perfection.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give those tenders some personal space.
- Make extra sauce. You’ll thank me later when you’re putting it on everything in sight.
Mix It Up!
- Air fryer fanatic? Spray those coated tenders with cooking spray and air fry at 400°F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Oven lover? Bake ’em at 425°F for 12-15 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flip ’em once to get both sides nice and crispy.
- Heat seeker? Add more Sriracha to the sauce or the buttermilk mix. Go wild!
