    • Season the chicken tenders with the onion powder, garlic powder, Season-All, cayenne, Kinder's, Tony's, Sazón, paprika and parsley.

    • Cover and let marinate in the fridge.

  2. Prepare the seasoned flour

    • In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the same spices used for the chicken.
    • Coat each marinated tender in the flour, shaking off the excess.

  3. Fry the chicken

    • Heat the frying oil to 175 °C.
    • Fry the coated tenders until golden brown and cooked through.
