Fried chicken is one of my favorite ways of cooking chicken and I can eat them every day without getting tired of the taste. I prefer fried chicken smothered in sauce or paired with an equally tasty dip, and one of my go-to recipes is this one by cathrena.chen on TikTok.

These chicken tenders are very crispy and flavorful, plus the garlic cheese sauce takes them to a whole new level of deliciousness. You can make them in large batches if you want to share them with your family or friends. Check out the video tutorial now and see for yourself.

How to Make Garlic Cheese Chicken Tenders:

Step 1

Cut the chicken into pieces as shown in the video and set them aside. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, and pepper, then give them a good whisk until combined, and divide them into two portions.

Step 2

In one portion of the dry mixture, add the buttermilk and vinegar, then whisk them until combined and there are no more lumps, and add in the chicken pieces. Mix them until every piece of chicken is well coated and submerged, then allow them to marinate, and prepare the sauce while waiting.

Step 3

Place a pan on a stove over medium or medium-low heat, then add the butter, and allow it to melt before adding the minced garlic. Toss them and saute for a minute, then shred the cheese over, and stir them consistently until melted and combined.

Step 4

Allow the sauce to simmer, then turn off the heat, and set it aside while frying the chicken. Coat the marinated chicken in the reserved flour mixture, then deep fry them in batches until crispy and golden brown, and coat them in the garlic cheese sauce. Serve and enjoy!
