Tasty Tuesday - Tex Mex Buttermilk Chicken Tenders

Tex Mex Buttermilk Chicken Tenders
I got this recipe out of the August issue of Rachael Rays magazine. It is deeeelicious!!!

Ingredients:

• 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• Juice of 2 limes and 2 teaspoons grated peel, plus wedges for serving
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 pounds chicken tenders
• Salt and pepper

(I didnt have onion or garlic powder I only had onion & garlic salt and it worked fine!)

Directions:

1. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning and lime peel. In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk and half of the spice mixture. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour and the remaining spice mixture. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper.

2. Using tongs, dip the chicken fingers in the buttermilk, then coat with the flour; repeat for a second coating. Working in batches, add the chicken fingers to the skillet and cook until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a rack.

3. Cool and serve :)
