Asian Chicken Tenders With A Sweet Lemon Glaze

These tender and juicy chicken has a flour and buttermilk dredge, that you fry until they become a  deep golden color. Then they have an amazing tangy and sweet glaze that you will fall in love with. I think the buttermilk is the secret to always making tender chicken. You can use chicken breasts or tenders in this recipe, either one will be perfect. This will soon be a hit in your house. Serve with rice on the side. Enjoy!!!
