Buffalo Sauce
- ¾ cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Chicken Tenders
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into large strips
- ½ cup buttermilk

Cooking Tenders
In a medium bowl beat egg, add buttermilk, and blend together.
Add chicken tenders to the mixture. Chill and marinate for a minimum of 2 hours.
Add Italian bread crumbs to a shallow bowl. Coat each Chicken Tenders on all sides, pressing bread crumbs to cover well.
In a large non-stick frying pan add canola oil. The oil should be 1/4-inch deep. Bring to medium-high heat.
Gently place coated chicken tenders in hot oil. Cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. The length of cooking time depends on the thickness of the chicken tenders. Cook in batches so the pan is not crowded.
Place cooked tenders on a plate that is covered with paper towels to drain, while you finish cooking in batches.
When cooking is complete place chicken in a large bowl or bag.
Making Buffalo Sauce
In a separate saucepan melt the butter on low heat.
Once melted add olive oil and Frank's Hot Sauce.
Mix with a pastry brush until thoroughly blended and smooth.
Pour warm sauce over the cooked chicken tenders and toss in bowl or bag or use pastry brush to coat tenders.
Serve with Blue Cheese Dip and garnishes
