Steps

  1. 1

    Place the chicken tenderloins in a bowl with the buttermilk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cover and marinate the chicken for 2–4 hours; overnight is best.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to make the dredge.

  4. 4

    Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk and coat each tender thoroughly in the dredge mixture.

  5. 5

    Heat frying oil to 165–170°C.

  6. 6

    Fry the coated chicken tenders for 3–4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove the chicken from the oil and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

  8. 8

    Increase the oil temperature to 180–185°C, then fry the chicken again for 1–2 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  9. 9

    Combine the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a saucepan.

  10. 10

    Simmer the sauce until hot and combined.

  11. 11

    Stir the unsalted butter into the simmering sauce until incorporated.

  12. 12

    Toss the hot, crispy chicken tenders with the honey BBQ sauce and serve.
