Culver’s Original Chicken Tenders Value Basket Recipe


Ingredients

For the Chicken Tenders:

  • 1 lb chicken tenders (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup regular breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Crinkle-Cut Fries:

  • 2 large potatoes, peeled (or leave skin on for a more rustic option)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Optional:

  • Dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Tenders:

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. This will be your seasoned flour mixture.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.
  • Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and regular breadcrumbs. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the Chicken: Carefully fry the chicken tenders in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Drain: Once fried, remove the chicken tenders and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

2. Prepare the Crinkle-Cut Fries:

  • Cut the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into crinkle-cut fries using a crinkle cutter.
  • Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the Fries: Fry the crinkle-cut fries in batches until they are golden and crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Remove them and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Season the Fries: Sprinkle with salt immediately while still hot.

3. Assemble the Basket:

  • Serve the Chicken Tenders: Place the freshly fried chicken tenders onto a plate or basket.
  • Add the Fries: Add a side of crispy crinkle-cut fries.
  • Serve with a Drink: If you want the full Culver’s Value Basket experience, add a drink of your choice, like soda, iced tea, or lemonade.

4. Optional: Add Dipping Sauces

  • Serve the chicken tenders with dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
