Ingredients

13-15 chicken tenders – 1 pack
300ml buttermilk

1 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp cracked pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano

Method

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Pour the buttermilk into a bowl.

In a separate bowl combine flour, herbs and spices.

Heat a deep-sided frypan over medium heat and fill with olive until it covers the base by about 5cm. Once the oil reaches 180°C you can start frying.

In small batches, dip each piece of chicken into the batter, then into the flour, and then carefully place in the oil.

Fry for about 4 mins each or until golden and crisp.

Drain well.

Combine mayo and lemon juice, and serve with lemon and a scattering of herbs.
