Ingredients:
For the Crispy Chicken Tenders:
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into small, thin tenders (chicken tenderloin works well)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Wet Batter:
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Ranch Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
For the Ranch Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a zesty ranch sauce. Set it aside.
For the Crispy Chicken Tenders:
- In a shallow and wide bowl, add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the dry ingredients together and set aside.
- In a deep bowl, prepare the wet batter by adding buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Now, create a flaky texture by adding 3 tablespoons of the wet batter into the dry ingredients. Mix it around with your fingers or a fork.
- Begin the breading process: Dip each chicken tender/strip first into the wet batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Then, place it into the dry mixture, ensuring an even coating. Repeat this process for a double coating, ending with another dip into the dry mixture. Let any excess wet or dry coating drip off the chicken tenders.
- Once all the tenders are perfectly breaded, allow them to rest for 10 minutes. This helps the coating adhere well during frying.
- Heat about 1.5 to 2 inches of oil in a frying pan to approximately 365°F (185°C). Avoid overcrowding the pan, and fry the chicken tenders in two batches if necessary. Fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown all around, which should take about 7-8 minutes. Rotate the tenders as needed to ensure even browning.
- Carefully transfer the crispy chicken tenders to a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Wrapping It Up: Once your chicken tenders are perfectly crispy, simply place them in a warm tortilla. Drizzle generously with your homemade ranch sauce. Fold the tortilla around the chicken tenders, and you’re ready to enjoy a delicious, homemade snack wrap that’s better than the fast-food version. Satisfy your cravings with this mouthwatering delight! 🌯🍗😋
