Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 2 lbs chicken tenderloins
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
Dredge for the Chicken
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 3 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • fresh black pepper to taste
Cane’s Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

  • Large Resealable Bag
  • Frying Pot
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients except the chicken. Place the chicken pieces into a large gallon-sized resealable bag, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  2. In another bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dredge, mixing them thoroughly.
  3. In a frying pot, heat 5 cups of oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Take one piece of chicken at a time out of the marinade and place it in the dredge mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Set the coated chicken on a wire rack to rest for at least 10 minutes. Dredge it again in the flour mixture. Repeat the process for all the chicken pieces.
  5. Once the oil is ready, fry the chicken for 3-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
  6. Repeat the frying process until all the chicken is done.
  7. Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients together in a bowl. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the chicken is marinated well to achieve the best flavor. Adjust the seasoning in the dredge and sauce to suit your taste preferences.
