Ingredients

    10 chicken tenderloins
    1 C buttermilk (can substitute 4 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar + enough milk added to measure 1 cup; stir and let stand 5 minutes or until mixture begins to curdle)
    1 C flour
    1 C panko breadcrumbs
    1/4 C cornmeal
    3 Tbsp butter
    Spice Mixture:
    1 Tbsp salt (will not taste salty)
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 tsp smoked paprika
    2 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp onion powder

    Parchment paper

Directions

1. Mix spices together in a small sealable bag. Add buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of spice mixture and chicken to large freezer bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 6-24 hours. Set aside remaining spices for later use.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper (foil will NOT work as chicken will stick to it). Add butter to baking tray and melt in oven while it preheats. Remove once butter is melted to avoid scorching.
3. In a large bowl mix together flour, panko, cornmeal and remaining spices.
4. Remove Chicken tenders from buttermilk and allow excess marinade to drip off.
5. Either coat chicken one piece at a time or place 1/2 flour mixture and 1/2 tenders in large baggie and shake to coat.
6. Place coated chicken on baking tray and press any extra coating into chicken.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden. Carefully flip chicken and bake another 5-10 minutes. May broil for desired crispiness.
