Description

This Raising Cane’s Tenders Recipe recreates the iconic crispy and juicy chicken tenders served with a tangy, creamy dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken tenders and mix well to fully coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to tenderize and flavor the chicken.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
  3. Remove chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Press each tender firmly into the flour mixture, coating all sides completely for a crunchy crust.
  4. Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a heavy-duty deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Add the coated chicken tenders carefully in batches without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the exterior is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165ºF).
  5. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Drain cooked chicken tenders on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately hot with the prepared dipping sauce and your favorite coleslaw for an authentic Raising Cane’s experience.
