Irresistible Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Tenders Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups of a delightful mixture of brown sugar-infused buttery crispy cereal made from corn and oats (like the beloved Cap’n Crunch®).
• A quarter cup of flour
• Half a teaspoon of salt, adjust to your liking
• Half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• Two lightly beaten eggs
• Two tablespoons of zesty buffalo wing sauce
• One pound of succulent chicken tenders
• A quarter cup of flavorful olive oil

Step 1

Start by breaking down the cereal into fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring a smooth texture. Transfer the crushed cereal to a shallow bowl, setting the stage for the coating process.

Step 2

In another shallow bowl, combine flour with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper, whisking them together to create a flavorful base. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with zesty Buffalo wing sauce, infusing the dish with a tangy kick.

Step 3

Take a chicken tender and gently coat it with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the coated tender into the egg mixture, followed by a thorough press into the crushed cereal. To ensure an even coating, gently toss the tender between your hands, allowing any loose crumbs to fall away. Place the coated tenders on a plate in a single layer, avoiding stacking, and continue the process until all tenders are coated.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat to prepare for frying. Work in batches to cook the chicken tenders, turning them once, until they are cooked through and achieve a delicious golden brown color on both sides, which typically takes about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, ensuring a crispy finish.
