Tex-Mex Buttermilk Chicken Tenders

So this recipe originally came from Rachel Ray, but once again, I picked it up from www.feedingmyzoo.blogspot.com. Messy process, but very good!

Ingredients:
4 cups vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoons poultry seasoning
2 cups buttermilk
2 1/2 cups flour
2 lbs chicken, cut into tenders*
Salt and pepper

Directions:
1) In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high.
2) In a large bowl, combine all spices. Pour half of the spice mixture into another large bowl.
3) Pour buttermilk into one bowl, and flour into the other. Stir to combine with spices.
4) Dip chicken tender into buttermilk, then flour, then buttermilk again, then flour again (makes for a crispy crust).
5) Add the strips to the oil and cook 3-4 min per side. Sprinkle with salt immediately after removing from oil.
6) Serve with ranch for kids, and ranch/louisiana hot sauce mixture for the adults.



This was also my first frying experience, and I was thrilled with the outcome! Will certainly make these again.
