About Buttermilk chicken tenders

Buttermilk Chicken Tenders are a classic comfort food inspired by Southern cuisine. Made by marinating tender cuts of chicken in tangy buttermilk, they become extra juicy and flavorful before being coated in a seasoned breadcrumb and flour mixture then fried to golden perfection. Typically crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they are often paired with dipping sauces for added zest. While their rich, savory taste makes them a favorite, they can be high in calories and fat due to the frying process. However, the chicken itself provides protein, and variations like baking can reduce the fat content. Opting for whole-grain breadcrumbs or air-frying can also improve nutritional value. Perfect as an appetizer or entrée, these tenders offer a satisfying blend of textures and flavors.
