Steps:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Place chicken tenders in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 2: Prepare Coating Mixture In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Coat the Chicken Remove chicken tenders from the buttermilk, letting excess liquid drip off. Coat each tender evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the coating to adhere.
