1First, make the wet batter by combining two cups of buttermilk, two tablespoons of garlic powder, one tablespoon of black pepper, one tablespoon of smoked paprika, and salt to taste.
2Whisk the wet batter until it's nice and combined.
3Add the chicken tenders to the wet batter, ensuring they are all tossed and coated.
4Let the chicken tenders marinate in the refrigerator for two hours or overnight.
5While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dry batter by mixing two cups of all-purpose flour, three tablespoons of corn starch, two tablespoons of garlic powder, one teaspoon of smoked paprika, a little bit of salt, and a little bit of pepper.
6Whisk the dry batter together until well combined.
7In a pan on medium-high heat, heat up your oil (like avocado oil) until it reaches 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
8Take the chicken from the wet batter and add it to the dry batter, coating it completely.
9Fry the chicken tenders for 8 to 10 minutes until they are nice and golden brown.
10Once fried, remove the chicken tenders and place them on a paper towel to cool.
11While the chicken is cooling, make the Cane's sauce by combining four tablespoons of ketchup, one cup of mayo, two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoon of garlic powder, one teaspoon of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
12Mix the sauce well.

Tips
Use smoked paprika, not regular paprika, for the chicken tenders.

Let the chicken marinate in the wet batter for two hours or overnight.
Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point like avocado oil (Cane's uses canola oil).
