Preparation
In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the coating for the chicken.
Dip each chicken tender into the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated, before rolling it in the flour mixture.
Cooking
In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
Carefully add the chicken tenders to the hot oil and fry them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is frying, melt the butter in a separate pan over low heat and stir in the honey and minced garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
Once the chicken tenders are crispy, toss them in the honey butter garlic sauce to coat each piece.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
These chicken tenders can be paired with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, green beans, or rice for a complete meal. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
