Instructions:

3. Coat and fry the chicken:

4. Toast the Buns

Zaxby’s Nibblerz Tips:
- Double dip for extra crunch: To get a crispy chicken, double dip the chicken in the buttermilk mixture and the flour-cornstarch mixture.
- Reduce the cayenne for a milder Sandwich. If you prefer more heat, add hot sauce.
- Grilled option: To make a lighter version of the dish, season the chicken tenders with the same spices and grill them.
