Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by marinating those beautiful chicken tenderloins in buttermilk. This step not only adds tender moisture to the chicken but helps the flour coating stick perfectly. I love letting them soak for at least 30 minutes, but if you can squeeze in a couple of hours, that’s even better! Once they’ve soaked, I mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. The aroma of the spices is just heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
