How to make it

  1. Marinate the chicken by soaking the chicken tenders in buttermilk and Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the coating by whisking together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk egg and water.
  3. Dip each tender into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame until soft and slightly charred.

  5. Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with 1-2 crispy fried chicken tenders, then topping with corn and cotija cheese. Drizzle with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
