Buttermilk Chicken Fries

1. Cut 12 chicken tenders into fry shapes.
2. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk it all together.
3. Fully submerge the chicken fries into the buttermilk marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for 2 to 8 hours.
4. For the breading, in a separate bowl, add 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of corn starch, 2 tablespoons of smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk these ingredients together.
5. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of the prepared buttermilk marinade into the flour mixture. Use a fork to lightly mix it in, creating small clumps.
6. Thoroughly pack the breading onto the marinated chicken fries.
7. Fry the breaded chicken fries in oil on medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Enjoy!
