Step by step

1. 1

   Cut chicken breasts into strips and season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

2. 2

   Set up three bowls: seasoned flour, whisked buttermilk and eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs. Dip tenders into flour, coat in buttermilk mixture, and press firmly into Panko for maximum crunch.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry tenders in batches for 4– 5 minutes until deeply golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.

4. 4

   Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat with honey, hot sauce, and minced garlic until smooth and bubbling. Toss hot tenders in the sauce, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
