Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken tenderloins in a medium bowl. Pour in buttermilk, lemon juice, soy sauce,garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, black pepper, and kosher salt, then whisk everything together, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 2. Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and kosher salt until evenly mixed. 3. Make the Soy Garlic Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer. In a small cup, whisk cornstarch and cold water together until smooth, then pour slurry into simmering sauce while whisking. Simmer on medium low for 2 to 3 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. 4. Dredge and Double Coat: Remove a chicken tenderloin from buttermilk marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge completely in flour mixture, dip back into buttermilk marinade, and coat thoroughly in flour mixture a second time. Transfer to a baking sheet and let rest for 5 minutes so crust adheres. 5. Fry the Tenders: Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or heavy pot to 350 degrees F. Fry chicken tenders in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
