Cracker Barrel Fried Chicken Tenderloin Recipe
Cracker Barrel's Fried Chicken Tenderloins is a favorite not just for its flavor but also for its tender, juicy texture.The secret to achieving this is the buttermilk marinade, which adds both taste and moisture to the chicken.I recommend using a cast-iron skillet for frying to achieve an even, crispy coating.And don’t forget to drain the tenderloins on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Chicken Tenderloins
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Water
- 3 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Set aside for breading later.
- In another bowl, blend buttermilk and water to create a smooth mixture.
- This will help keep the chicken moist during cooking.
- Dip each chicken tenderloin into the buttermilk mix.
- Then, coat it thoroughly with the seasoned flour.
- Repeat this for all tenderloins to form a good layer of breading.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
- Carefully add the tenderloins in batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the tenderloins from oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
