Fried chicken tenders are such a vibe. You can do so much with them. Eat them plain , make tacos with them , throw them on a salad , the options are endless.

With the holiday season now underway , I wanted to start with a recipe that was quick and easy to make. This would also be a perfect holiday get together appetizer for any guest that you have coming over. I like to purchase pretty serving plates during the holidays from Homegoods and serve my appetizers on them.

My fried chicken tenders recipe is made with buttermilk and it gives it an amazing flavor when paired with the seasoning combination I used.
