what's up guys welcome back today we're keeping it nice and simple with the recipe that almost everybody loves crispy Juicy and Delicious fried chicken tenders now you can serve these up plain or you can use this homemade sauce that I'm about to show you but before we get into the recipe please take a quick second to subscribe to the channel make sure you hit that Bell to the notifications as well alright guys meet me in the kitchen let's make it happen first things first let's take a look at these ingredients today we're using chicken breasts instead of chicken tenders you can use chicken tenders but I like my chicken tenders a little bit bigger so we're going with the breast we're going to cut those down and then this episode is sponsored by my damn self if you haven't tried this yet grab my all-purpose seasoned flour this makes your life so much easier in the kitchen when it comes to fried foods otherwise I'll leave you a little recipe in the description box as well we got some butter brown sugar soy sauce honey some Sriracha that's going to be for our sauce and for the marinade we got a little hot sauce and buttermilk all right guys we're going to turn chicken breast into chicken tenders obviously again guys you can use whatever you got from the store if you want to get some chicken tenders from there but I want mine to have you know some meat on the bone or off the bone so to speak so I'm going to cut these into chicken tender size pieces about like so it's kind of what I'm looking for try to make them as even as you can that way they cook at the same rate all right guys so if you're using my seasoned flour you do not want to add any additional seasoning into this or it's going to be too salty my seasoned flour is designed for you to be able to drop whatever protein you want directly into the flour fry it up and you have Perfection So today we're just going to buttermilk brine these I'm going to hit it with a tablespoon or two of hot sauce because why the hell not just to add a little bit of heat to the party totally optional though we're gonna soak it in this buttermilk to help tenderize the chicken a bit and it's going to help that flour stick to the chicken as well when we go to bread it but I'm not going to add any additional seasoning obviously you can do whatever you want but that is my advice to you if you're using my product of using something else then go ahead and do your thing I will also go ahead and leave a seasoned flour recipe down in the description box so you guys can go ahead and season up your own flour at home if you don't want to use mine or if you don't have it readily available when you want to make it ASAP we're just going to let this soak for about an hour or so up to overnight it'll be ready to fry all right guys so we have our oil coming up to 350 degrees in the meantime we're going to go ahead and bread our chicken again with my seasoned flour no need to add anything to it it's going to have all the flavor that you need get in there with your hands make sure there's no bald spots on your chicken make sure it's nicely coated like so I'm going to place it there to hang out while that oil comes up to temperature that's going to give the flour time to adhere to the chicken and ensure that you have a nice crispy juicy piece of fried chicken when it's all said and done foreign temperature we're gonna go ahead and make this quick and easy sauce and a skillet over medium heat we're gonna melt two tablespoons of butter because butter makes everything better once that butter is melted we're gonna go ahead and add in about a quarter cup of brown sugar to the brown sugar I'm going in with a few tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce maybe three or four tablespoons worth then we're going to add a quarter cup of sriracha more or less depending on your spice tolerance and then about a half cup of good old honey we're just going to get in there and give that a mix over medium Heat it's going to simmer away all those flavors are going to come together you're gonna have a beautiful sweet and spicy sauce for your chicken this is great on wings you can throw this on some shrimp some salmon but today we're throwing it on our chicken tenders just a few ingredients and it comes together in like 10 minutes you really can't beat it all right guys so once the oil comes up to 350 we're gonna gently place in our chicken tenders the key is to not overcrowd your fryer you want to give it a little shake to make sure that nothing's sticking to the bottom of the fry or they're sticking together you just want to promote even cooking make sure they get nice and golden brown make sure our oil doesn't drop and temperature too much which will happen if you overcrowd it those are all things that result in not the best fried chicken so look at this the crust won't be as crispy you run the risk of the outside getting cooked before the inside so just be patient two or three batches depending on how much chicken you're working with so after a couple minutes just get in there and make sure like I said they're cooking evenly so if you want to flip them over it's not a bad idea oh man these are looking good already you can see the seasoning and that all-purpose flour foreign guys it's time to go ahead and sauce these up a little honey Sriracha oh man look at the glaze let's give them a little toss all right guys we went ahead and plated this up platter Style on one side we have the honey Sriracha on the other side we got the Plain Jane I don't know which one I want to dig into first but before we do that brace yourself for a trademark money shot say it with me guys looking good before we get into the taste test please take a quick second to subscribe to
