Ingredients you’ll need:

For the Chicken Tenders

• Chicken tenders 1 lb (approximately 6-8 tenders).
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornstarch for extra crispiness
• 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons of onion powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• Cayenne pepper, optional (for heat), 1/2 teaspoon
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
• 1 egg
• Buttermilk, 1/2 cup (for marinating chicken).
• Vegetable Oil (for Frying)

Cane’s sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Half a teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• Black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon

Crinkle Cut Fries

• Frozen crinkle-cut fries (or fresh potatoes if you prefer to cut them yourself)
• Salt (for seasoning).

Texas Toast

• Texas Toast 4 Slices
• 1 cup unsalted Butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• Parsley dried 1 teaspoon

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken tenders:

• If you have not already done so, trim the chicken to the desired size. With paper towels, pat the chicken dry.
• In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the egg. Mixture the buttermilk and egg in a bowl. Place the chicken tenders into the mixture and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The meat will be tenderized and have a wonderful flavour.

2. Prepare the chicken Coating

• To make the coating, in a shallow dish combine the cornstarch, flour, garlic powder and onion powder with the paprika. Add the cayenne, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
• Coat the chicken: After marinating, remove the tenders from the buttermilk mixture. Dredge them in the flour mixture. Press down gently so that each piece is evenly coated. Place the chicken coated in flour on a baking sheet and set it aside.

3. Fry the chicken tenders:

• Heat the Oil. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pan or deep fryer. Oil should be heated to 350degF (or 175degC). Test the oil by adding a little flour to it. If it sizzles, then it is ready.
• Fry the chicken: Drop the tenders in the hot oil a few at a time. Be careful not to overload the pot. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown. Place the chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Cane’s sauce:

• Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the ketchup and other ingredients such as paprika or garlic powder. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste, along with lemon juice, pepper, salt, etc. Mix until smooth. Seasoning can be adjusted as necessary.

5. How to Cook Crinkle Cut Fries

• Prepare the Fries. If you are using frozen crinkle-cut fries, follow the instructions on the package. Fry fresh potatoes in crinkle-cut shapes until golden brown and crispy.
• Season the Fries. Once the fries have become crispy, sprinkle a little salt on them while they are still hot.

6. Texas Toast

• Preparation of the Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush each Texas toast slice with melted Butter, and sprinkle dried parsley and garlic powder on top.
• Toast the bread: Place the Texas toast slices buttered on the skillet. Cook each side for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Raising Cane’s Chicken Finger Combo:

It’s now time to put your meal together.

• Serve the Chicken: Arrange on a serving plate the chicken tenders that have just been fried.
• Add the Fries: Place the crinkle-cut fries on the side.
• Texas Toast: Serve a golden Texas toast slice with the chicken and fries.
• Cane’s Sauce – Don’t overlook the star of the show! Serve a generous amount of your homemade Cane’s Sauce as a dip.

Enjoy the deliciousness of homemade Raising Cane’s chicken finger combo with all its crispy, tender and flavorful goodness!

The Perfect Chicken Finger Combo:

• Double Dip Chicken: To get an extra crisp coating, dip chicken tenders in buttermilk again after a first coating with flour. Then, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture. The crust will be even more crunchy and thick.
• You can adjust the spice: If you prefer more or less heat, feel free to increase or decrease the cayenne in the coating. Add more garlic powder or onion powder if you want to enhance the flavour.
• Use a Deep Fryer: If you own a deep fryer, it is a great option to make the chicken crispy and not have to worry about rotating the tenders. Keep the oil at 350degF.
• Fresh Fries: Although frozen fries are fine, you can elevate your dish by making your crinkle-cut fries using fresh potatoes. For a fresher taste, cut the potatoes into crinkle shapes and fry them.
