How To Make Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders with Spicy Mayo

  1. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, chicken, mix until the chicken is thoroughly coated and marinate it for at least 2 hours, best overnight.
  2. Pre-heat the oil in a pot over a medium high heat. In a bowl combine the flours, seasonings and spices.
  3. Take one chicken tender, shake off any excess buttermilk mixture and coat the chicken tender in the flour mixture.
  4. Repeat the coating process for a crispier chicken tender. Place the chicken tender into the oil and cook until golden in colour/ until the chicken is fully cooked and serve with the spicy mayo.
  5. For the spicy mayo combine the parsley, chili, lemon juice, garlic and clover mayo in a blender and blend until smooth, season with salt and pepper.

Chefs Tip: Double dredge the chicken, it will be clumpy but the clumpier the crispier the coating will be.
