He swears a bit, but honestly, has really good recipes. 

Ingredients 

Chicken tenders

2 pounds of chicken tenders

2 cups of buttermilk

3 tbsp of Frank's Hot Sauce 

Chicken coating

3 cups flour divided

2 tbsp garlic powder divided

2 tbsp baking soda divided

2 tsp paprika divided

1 tsp cayenne pepper divided 

1 tsp salt divided

1 can beer, or club soda

Chicken Dipping Sauce 

1/2 cup Mayonnaise 

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp washyoursister sauce

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 

1/2 tsp paprika 

1/2 tsp garlic 

Stuff you will need 

Several mixing bowls

Cookie sheets

Wire rack

Slotted spoon

Deep fat fryer

Saran wrap

Instant Read Thermometer 

Directions 

Put your chicken tenders in a mixing bowl.  Cover the chicken with buttermilk.  Add Frank's Hot Sauce.  Cover the bowl with saran wrap and put in the refrigerator overnight.  Or at least a few hours.

Get two mixing bowls.  Place 1/2 of the dry ingredients into each bowl and whisk.  In ONE BOWL, add enough beer to make a thin batter.  You can drink what is left.

Remove the chicken from your marinating bowl and shake off the excess liquid.  Coat the chicken in the dry bowl, dunk into the batter, back into the dry bowl.  Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet.  Give them a minute or two to absorb the batter.

Make sure your oil is at 350F.  Fry them in small batches, 2 at a time, so as not to cool the oil.

When you remove the cooked chicken tender from the oil, place on a cookie sheet with an inverted wire rack.  This will allow the excess oil to drip off. (The excess oil that dripped off, get some quick oats and soak up the oil.  Then throw those oats out to the birds).   Using your instant read thermometer, make sure the chicken tender is 165 F.

Mix up all the ingredients for the dipping sauce.  The washyoursister sauce is really worcestershire sauce.

Serve the chicken tenders while they are warm.

Did you make extra?  From frozen, place the tenders on an invert wire rack on a cookie sheet (to keep both sides of the chicken tender crispy).  Bake ar 400F for 20 minutes.  Flip half way through.
