Popeyes Chicken Tenders

I’m obsessed with Popeyes Chicken Tenders – and for good reason! These crispy, golden strips of heaven are packed with juicy chicken that’s full of flavor. The secret blend of spices and breadcrumbs that Popeyes uses gives them a crunch that’s hard to resist.

And the best part? You get to choose your favorite dipping sauce to go with them. Personally, I’m a huge fan of pairing them with Popeyes Blackened Ranch sauce and a side of buttery biscuits – it’s a match made in heaven!

Popeyes Chicken Tenders Recipe

Popeyes Chicken Tenders are famous for their crispiness and juicy flavor. What if you could make them at home, just like the restaurant? Here’s the secret recipe to make mouth-watering Popeyes-style Chicken Tenders.

Ingredients

Chicken Tenders

• 1 lb chicken breast (cut into strips)
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs

Preparation Method

Get ready to make mouth-watering Popeyes-style chicken tenders at home! The prepration time is just 40 minutes (including 30 minutes of marination), cooking time is 10-12 minutes, and total time is around 50-52 minutes.

Chicken Marination

• Mix buttermilk, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper in a bowl. This marinade will tenderize the chicken and add flavor.
• Add chicken strips to the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Breading the Chicken

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and baking powder. This spice blend gives Popeyes tenders their signature flavor!
• Dip each marinated chicken strip in the seasoned flour mixture, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, repeat the breading process twice.

Frying the Chicken

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the hot oil.
• Fry for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove the tenders from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
