[beni]

I've been trying to become a culinary pro by making my favorite restaurant dishes at home The buffalo chicken tenders, which are crispy, tender chicken covered in a spicy, tangy sauce, have been a major hit with my family. And guess what? Making it is a simple, particularly if you have a bottle of Frank's hot sauce on hand. The best part is that you can adjust the flavor and heat level to exactly what your taste preferences are! It's like a fiery scientific experiment in the kitchen when my dad mixes up a batch of wing sauce with his assortment of hot sauces! Thus, whether you're a hot sauce connoisseur or a Frank's enthusiast, here's how to make your own buffalo chicken tenders:

Ingredients:​

• 1¼ pounds chicken tenderloins​
• ½ cup flour​
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder​
• 2 eggs​
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Frank’s RedHot Original Hot Sauce, or use your favorite cayenne-based hot sauce​
• 2 cups panko​
• 4 scallions, trimmed and minced​
• Neutral oil, for frying​
• Salt and pepper​

Prepare the chicken:​

1. Pat the chicken tenderloins dry and season with salt and pepper.​

Set up your dredging station:​

1. Set out three shallow dishes. To the first dish, add flour, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. To the second dish, add 2 eggs plus 2 tablespoons of hot sauce and whisk until smooth. Add panko with a pinch of salt and pepper to the third dish.​

Preheat the oil:​

1. Add about ¼ inch of neutral oil to a wide pot or skillet. You only need enough oil to come up to half the thickness of a chicken tender. Turn the heat to medium-low to preheat the oil.​

Dredge the chicken:​

1. Dip a chicken tenderloin into the flour and shake off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture and shake off the excess. Finish dredging the chicken by rolling it gently in the panko; gently press it into the tender to ensure it adheres. Transfer to a baking rack. Continue until all tenders are dredged.​

Heat the sauce:​

1. Simmer the remaining 1 cup of hot sauce over low heat as you fry the chicken tenders.​

Fry the chicken tenders:​

1. Turn the heat on the oil to medium. If you drop a piece of panko into the pot, it should bubble and sizzle but not overly vigorously. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure it is 350ºF.​
2. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken tenders in batches, about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Once the tenders reach 165ºF, transfer them to a cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate.​

Sauce the tenders:​

1. Once all the chicken tenders are fried, pour the warm sauce into a large bowl.​
2. Add the chicken tenders to the bowl in batches and toss gently to coat in the sauce.​

To serve:​

1. Transfer the sauced tenders to a serving platter and sprinkle with minced scallions. Enjoy!​
