Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs. Chicken Tenderloins (trimmed)
  • Vegetable Oil

Marinade:

  • 1/2 Cup Duck Sauce
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Tsp. Salt

Dry mixture: 

  • 2 Cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Corn Starch
  • 2 Tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 1/2 Tsp. Pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix-together Duck Sauce, water, and salt. Then add the chicken to the mixture, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
  2. In another bowl, add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix it together, then dredge each piece of chicken fully coating both sides. Place the chicken on a rack and put it back in the refrigerator for 1 hour so the marinade absorbs into the flour coating.
  3. In a deep-frying pan, fill oil 1/2 of the way full, and pre-heat it to 350 degrees. Deep fry the chicken tenders until golden brown for about 3 to 4 minutes per batch.
  4. Serve with Frank’s Red Hot Chili Sauce, Ranch dressing, or honey mustard… but Frank’s is the best!
