For an even more flavorful experience, marinate the chicken tenders in light buttermilk for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours before coating. Adjust seasoning to your preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a delightful kick. Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should reach 165°F (74°C).
