Ingredients (8)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website. For dips, make and enjoy your dip creation. Then, refrigerate within 2 hours or discard.

Steps (6)

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine half of the packet of seasoning mix with sour cream and stir until well blended. Chill covered until ready to use.
  2. 2
    In another bowl, combine the remaining half packet of seasoning mix with the buttermilk and stir until well blended. Combine chicken and buttermilk mixture together in a Glad® Food Storage Zipper Bag. Seal the bag, turn to coat the chicken. Chill for at least 1 hour, overnight is best.
  3. 3
    Remove the chicken from the bag, shake off any remaining buttermilk. Discard any remaining marinade.
  4. 4
    On a large plate, add the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each of the tenders evenly in the flour mixture.
  5. 5
    In a deep skillet, heat the oil to 365°F. Carefully drop the chicken in the oil a few at a time. Cook the chicken in batches until golden and crispy, draining each batch on a bed of paper towels.
  6. 6
    Serve immediately with the sour cream mixture for dipping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from my 3 year old loves all things ranch!! I use crisco shortening instead of veggie oil and pan fry instead of deep fry. then my son still dips in his ranch dreesing!!! Also I like to put my tenders in the frig after battering for a few minutes to help the batter stick to them

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy & delicious The prep time sounds daunting but if you prep the night before, you can potentially come home & have these on the table 20 minutes later. I made them for my kids but my husband and I loved them just as much. Great recipe!
