Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love
Cooking Secrets
- Use a wire rack on a baking sheet to allow air circulation and keep the coating crispy.
- If you prefer extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce.
Step 1
Crush the Cap'n Crunch cereal into fine crumbs using a food processor, then pour them into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. In a third bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the Buffalo wing sauce.
Step 2
Take a chicken tender and lightly coat it with the flour mixture, shaking off any extra. Next, dip it into the egg and sauce mixture, then press it into the crushed cereal until it’s well coated. Give it a gentle toss between your hands to let any loose crumbs fall off. Lay the coated tenders in a single layer on a plate—try not to stack them while you finish coating the rest.
Step 3
Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the tenders in batches, turning once, until they’re golden brown and cooked through—about 3 to 4 minutes per side. When done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
