## Ingredients

- buttermilk
- hot sauce
- mustard
- flour
- seasoning
- chicken tenders
- 50 percent flour
- 25 percent corn starch
- 25 percent tempura mixture
- seasoning
- hot oil
- butter
- garlic paste
- red chili flakes
- hot sauce
- hot honey

## Instructions

1. To start your marinade, in a large bowl, add lots of buttermilk.
2. Then you want to add in a healthy amount of hot sauce.
3. Just a tiny drop of mustard.
4. And then you're going to trust the process and add in a generous amount of flour.
5. Just season this down with love.
6. Whisk until you get a thicker pancake batter-like consistency.
7. Now gently submerge lots of chicken tenders and get them snuggled in.
8. And then we're going to marinate until we lose patience, preferably 4 to 12 hours.
9. For our dry batter, we need 50% flour, 25% cornstarch, and the last 25% is some tempura mixture.
10. Season this up with a little bit more love.
11. Now, I'm going to grab the tender. You can kind of see how the buttermilk is sticking to it because of the flour, and then we go into the dry batter.
12. Now we go into hot oil set at 350 for 4 minutes.
13. Pull them out and allow them to rest.
14. And back in for a few minutes to get extra golden like me.
15. For the garlic buffalo sauce, start melting down some butter.
16. Throw in lots of heartburn paste.
17. And then when the garlic starts talking to your nose, go in with some red chili flakes.
18. And go in with lots of hot sauce.
19. And then you're just going to kill the heat and drizzle in lots of hot honey.
20. You just want to get each one lost in the sauce.
