Black Pepper – 1 tsp 12. Baking Powder – 1 tsp 13. Vegetable Oil – 6–8 cups, for frying 14. Frozen Crinkle-Cut French Fries – 2 lb 15. Hamburger Buns – 4 16. Butter – 2 tbsp, softened 17. Mayonnaise – 1/2 cup 18. Ketchup – 3 tbsp 19. Dijon Mustard – 1 tbsp 20. Pickle Juice – 1 tbsp 21. Smoked Paprika – 1/2 tsp Recipe 1. Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized strips. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth. 2. Add the chicken strips to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring every piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to tenderize the chicken and improve flavor. 3. In a separate wide bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, remaining salt, remaining black pepper, and baking powder. Whisk thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly. 4. Remove one chicken strip from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Press it firmly into the seasoned flour mixture, turning several times to create a thick coating. 5. For an extra-crispy crust, drizzle 2 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the flour and rub it lightly with your fingers to form small flour clumps. Press the coated chicken into these clumps, then place it on a wire rack. 6. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the chicken safely, leaving plenty of space at the top of the pot to prevent overflow. 7. Fry the chicken in small batches for approximately 5–7 minutes, turning as needed, until the coating is deeply golden and crisp. Ensure the thickest part of each strip reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). 8. Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let excess oil drain naturally while keeping the chicken uncovered so the crust stays crunchy. 9. Cook the crinkle-cut fries according to the package directions, either in a separate fryer at 350–375°F (175–190°C) until golden or in an oven or air fryer. Season with a little additional salt immediately after cooking if desired. 10. Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving to allow the flavors to blend. 11. Spread the softened butter over the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Toast them in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden and crisp. 12. Arrange the crispy chicken tenders and hot crinkle-cut fries on a large serving tray. Place the toasted buns around the edges and position the dipping sauce in small serving bowls in the center. 13. Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crunchy. Offer extra dipping sauce, pickles, or fresh coleslaw on the side for a complete Southern-style comfort food platter.
