Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine all marinade ingredients: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, curry powder, black pepper, salt, MSG, white pepper, pepperoncini juice, hot sauce, chicken bouillon, and soy sauce. Whisk to combine.
2
Add the chicken tenders to the marinade and mix thoroughly to ensure each piece is fully coated.
3
In a separate large bowl, prepare the dredge by combining the all-purpose flour with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, curry powder, white pepper, and black pepper. Mix well.
4
Take a piece of marinated chicken and dredge it in the seasoned flour, tossing to coat completely.
5
Quickly dip the flour-coated chicken into a bowl of water for a few seconds.
6
Lift the chicken out of the water, allow the excess to drip off, and immediately return it to the flour dredge for a second coating.
7
Toss the chicken in the flour again, then pick it up and shake it vigorously. This action helps create the shaggy, ruffled texture that will become extra crispy.
8
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pan to 350°F (175°C).
9
Carefully place the dredged chicken tenders into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
10
Remove the cooked chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain.
11
Serve immediately, with ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
