Ingredients

🍗 1 pound Chicken Tenders
🥛 1 cup Buttermilk
🌶️ 1 tablespoon Kinder’s Red Jalapeño Garlic Seasoning
🥩 1 tablespoon Kinder’s All Purpose Meat & Veggie Rub Seasoning
🌶️ 1 tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning
🔥 2 tablespoons Louisiana Hot Sauce
🌾 1 cup Flour
🌾 1/2 cup Cornstarch
🧈 1/4 cup Butter
🍯 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
🍯 1/4 cup Syrup

Instructions

1- Marinate the Chicken:

• In a large glass bowl, combine the chicken tenders and buttermilk.
• Add Kinder’s Red Jalapeño Garlic Seasoning, Kinder’s All Purpose Meat & Veggie Rub Seasoning, Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning, and Louisiana Hot Sauce.
• Mix thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

2- Prepare the Flour Mixture:

• In a small rectangular dish, combine the flour and cornstarch.
• Add another round of Kinder’s Red Jalapeño Garlic Seasoning, Kinder’s All Purpose Meat & Veggie Rub Seasoning, and Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning.
• Mix well.

3- Coat the Chicken:

• Remove each chicken tender from the marinade.
• Coat it generously in the flour mixture.
• Press gently to adhere the flour mix.

4- Fry the Chicken:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C)—the oil should be popping hot.
• Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the oil.
• Fry until they achieve a golden-brown color, approximately 6-8 minutes.
• Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.

5- Make the Hot Honey Sauce:

• In a small saucepan, combine the butter, hot sauce, brown sugar, and syrup.
• Heat over medium-low and stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are combined.

6- Coat and Serve:

• Once the sauce is ready, dip each fried chicken tender in the hot honey sauce until fully coated.
• Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.
