Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Coating:

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

For Frying:

  2. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

  • You can replicate Cane’s Sauce with a mix of mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
