Perfectly seasoned, golden-fried chicken tenders paired with crispy fries make for a winning combination. While this recipe is a simple take that you can try at home, it might taste a little different from the delightful experience at Mom’s Dosa.

Ingredients List

For the Chicken Tenders:

• • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into strips
• • 1 cup buttermilk
• • 1 cup all-purpose flour
• • 1 tsp garlic powder
• • 1 tsp paprika
• • 1 tsp salt
• • 1/2 tsp black pepper
• • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for spice)

Oil for frying

For the Fries:

• 2 large potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Instructions/Steps

Preparing the Chicken Tenders:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken strips and buttermilk. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps tenderize the chicken.

2. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, mix together flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

3. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off any excess. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring a good coating. Shake off extra flour.

4. Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until hot.

5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the chicken tenders to the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
 

Preparing the Fries:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Fries: Toss the cut potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Bake the Fries: Spread the fries out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
