1. Prep the Coating Stations: Begin by setting up your coating stations. Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in a second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a third bowl.

2. Coat the Tenders: Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Be sure to press lightly to ensure the coating sticks to the chicken.

3. Fry the Chicken: Heat ¼ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken tenders in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Drain the fried tenders on paper towels.

4. Toss in Buffalo Sauce: In a large bowl, mix the Buffalo sauce and melted butter. Add the hot chicken tenders and toss until they’re fully coated in the spicy, buttery sauce.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the saucy Buffalo Chicken Tenders on a plate and serve with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Don’t forget to include some fresh celery and carrot sticks on the side for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
