1 cup all‑purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk

In another bowl whisk eggs and buttermilk until smooth.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
