Notes
- To make the chicken tenders extra crispy, double dip them in the flour and buttermilk mixture.
- For a spicier version, add more hot sauce to the honey mixture or sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top of the chicken tenders before serving.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying to allow the coating to set and become extra crispy.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes before using in the recipe.
