Buffalo Chicken Tenders

My husband loves hot wings! These are great because there aren't any bones in them. If you have kids that don't like the spice, you can easily keep some without sauce so that they can have regular chicken tenders. Here's how...

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lb. chicken tenders, or chicken breasts cut into slices
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. flour
salt and pepper
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. hot sauce
2 T. melted butter

Preheat oven to 250. Place wire rack, like a cooling rack, on a rimed baking sheet and place in oven.

Place flour and buttermilk in separate bowls; season flour with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in buttermilk (allowing excess to drip off), then press flour onto the chicken; place on plate. Repeat until all the chicken is breaded.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium/high heat. Working in batches, fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to rack in oven to keep warm.

In a large bowl, stir together hot sauce and melted butter. Add cooked, breaded chicken and toss to coat.

Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese.

I found this recipe in Everyday Food.
