Print Recipe

• Author: Cullys Kitchen

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 ½ pounds chicken tenders (cut into 1 ½ inch pieces)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt to taste
• 2 cups Ritz cracker crumbs (I used a food processor to crush the crackers – if you don’t have one place them in a food grade plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. They don’t have to be real fine)
• 1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
• Oil for deep frying.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl mix together the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, and salt; toss the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
2. In a shallow dish like a pie plate whisk together the Ritz cracker crumbs, parmesan cheese, and panko bread crumbs.
3. Preheat deep fryer to 350F.
4. Roll the chicken pieces one piece at a time in the crumb mixture and deep fry in batches until golden brown and crispy. Place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve as a stand-alone snack or with your favorite dipping sauce.
