Raising Cane’s-Style Chicken Tenders and Sauce

Crispy buttermilk- and pickle-juice-marinated chicken tenders are fried in a seasoned, craggy flour coating and served with a creamy, tangy Cane’s-style sauce. The source suggests serving them with Texas toast and crinkle fries, but does not provide recipes for those sides.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken breast (Sliced into strips about 1 inch thick and 3–4 inches long, or use tenderloins.)
  • 2 cup buttermilk (For the chicken marinade.)
  • 0.333 cup pickle juice (For the chicken marinade.)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (For the chicken marinade.)
  • 1 tsp paprika (For the chicken marinade.)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (For the chicken marinade.)
  • 1 tsp salt (For the chicken marinade.)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (For the chicken marinade.)
  • neutral oil (For frying; use enough to fill the pot or deep skillet about 2–3 inches deep.)
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour (For the flour mixture.)
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch (For the flour mixture.)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (For the flour mixture.)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder (For the flour mixture.)
  • 2 tsp paprika (For the flour mixture.)
  • 2 tsp salt (For the flour mixture.)
  • 2 tsp black pepper (For the flour mixture.)
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 0.25 cup ketchup (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 1 tsp paprika (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (For Cane’s sauce.)
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt (For Cane’s sauce.)

Steps

  1. 1

    Slice the chicken breast into tender-sized strips about 1 inch thick and 3–4 inches long, unless using tenderloins. In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pickle juice, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for extra-tender chicken.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Pour neutral oil into a large pot or deep skillet to a depth of about 2–3 inches. Heat it to 350°F / 175°C, keeping the oil near that temperature to help the coating crisp without burning.

  5. 5

    Drizzle a little of the buttermilk marinade into the flour mixture and stir it in to form small flaky bits.

  6. 6

    Shake excess marinade from each chicken piece, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour and gently place the coated chicken in the hot oil.

  7. 7

    Leave the chicken undisturbed for the first 1–2 minutes to help the crust set. Fry for 7–10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined rack to drain.

  8. 8

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and seasoning salt for the Cane’s sauce. Refrigerate the sauce.

  9. 9

    Serve the chicken with the sauce, Texas toast, and crinkle fries.

Notes

The source gives no quantities or preparation instructions for Texas toast or crinkle fries; they are suggested serving accompaniments only. Prep and total times account for the stated minimum 2-hour marinade; overnight marinating takes longer.
