Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Tenders (similar to Domino's Chicken Kickers)

BUFFALO CHICKEN TENDERS
(like Domino's Chicken Kickers)

12 ounces chicken tenders (12)
1/2 cup hot sauce
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Combine chicken tenders and hot sauce in plastic bag. Store in refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Preheat deep fryer to 360 degrees F.

Combine flour, Cajun seasoning, and salt on one plate. Put buttermilk on second plate.

Place chicken tenders in flour and dredge to coat. Transfer to buttermilk, dredge, then return to flour and dredge once more. You should have a nice, thick crust. Place breaded tenders on a wire rack for 5 minutes, to set the crust. If you skip this step, the crust may fall off during frying.

After crust has set, dredge once more in flour and drop into oil. You can skip the final dredge, but I find it makes for a crispier result. Fry for 4-6 minutes until golden, brown, and delicious.

NOTES:
"DH loves Dominos Chicken Kickers - these were as close as I've come to recreating them for him, and a really big hit last night for dinner! I did everything exactly as directed, except I pan fried them in about a half inch of vegetable oil, turning once as I hate to fry foods." -wildflower 5656
