Red Robin Chicken Tenders Recipe

When you or your loved ones want to soak up the taste of Red Robin's chicken tenders at home, this is your go-to recipe!
These babies are simple to prepare and easily capture the restaurant's signature flavors.
Start by gathering fresh chicken tenders and mixing up a delicious rub with salt, chili, and garlic powders.
For the crispiest tenders, I recommend using panko breadcrumbs, and don’t forget to let the chicken marinate for extra flavor.

Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast cut into strips
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil for frying
Instructions
 
  • Marinate the chicken strips in buttermilk for about an hour in the refrigerator.
  • This will help tenderize the chicken.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • This will be your dry coating for the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off.
  • Coat chicken in the flour mixture, pressing it on to ensure an even layer.
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • It's ready when a small piece of bread browns in about 60 seconds.
  • Carefully place the chicken tenders in the hot oil.
  • Fry them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
