Pour the 1/2 cup of buttermilk in a bowl and place the chicken tenders in the buttermilk and let it sit for a few minutes while you are preparing the other ingredients.
Preheat a large skillet to medium high heat and pour the oil into the skillet so that is about 1/2 inch deep. The amount of oil will vary according on how large the skillet is.

Add the flour to a bowl large enough to place the chicken tenders into. Sprinkle in about 2 tablespoons of buttermilk and stir it into the flour. Tip: This will make the crispy pieces on the chicken tenders.
