To brine the chicken tenders, First add buttermilk and brine ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add chicken tenders and make sure they are submerged in brine. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set in refrigerator for at at least 1 hour and no more than 8 hours.
Once chicken is done brining, prepare the oil for frying. Place 2-3 cups of oil into a cast-iron skillet. Heat over medium heat. The oil should take about 7-10 minutes to get to 300 degrees.
While oil gets hot, prepare the dredge. Remove tenders from brine and dip each tender into flour.
Once oil is at 300 degrees, place chicken tenders into oil 4 at at time. Cook all 4 tenderloins for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from oil and drain on wire rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tenderloins. Let tenderloins cool on wire rack. Raise oil temperature to 350 degrees.
