  2. Make the dredge

  3. Coat the chicken

    • Take the tenders out of the marinade and press them into the dredge.
    • Coat each tender well on all sides, shaking off the excess.
    Step 3

  4. Deep fry the chicken

    • Heat the peanut oil to 325 °F (165 °C) in a deep fryer.
    • Fry the tenders in batches, keeping the heat steady so the crust doesn't burn before the inside is cooked.
    • Drain on a rack or paper towels.
