Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Tips:
For extra crispy chicken tenders, double-dredge them in the flour mixture.
To ensure the chicken is cooked through, check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
