Thank you Heluva Good! for sponsoring this post.
I love ranch dressing. There’s something about that tangy flavor that’s just so dang good! I usually can’t control myself at parties when there’s a crudité platter and ranch dip is involved. But there’s more to this tasty stuff than just dipping raw vegetables into it.
The base of a good ranch dip is buttermilk. You can make it without it, but it’s not nearly as good. And all good Southern cooks know that the way to get moist, delicious fried chicken is to soak it in buttermilk before you bread it and fry it.
So, knowing these two things, I decided to bring the two worlds together. For this easy, 3 ingredient recipe for fried chicken, I’ll be using chicken tenderloins, Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip, and Panko breadcrumbs. It’s super easy and delicious, plus, I make it in the Air Fryer so it’s crunchy and delicious (although you can bake them in the oven as well).
I chose the Heluva Good! dip because of it’s great flavor and thick consistency. You can find these dips at your local supermarket and they have a variety of flavor options like French Onion, Bacon Horseradish and Jalapeno Cheddar dips as well. Having a dip available with chips, veggies, or winds is always a welcome and familiar crowd favorite.
So what’s even better than having a delicious array of fried chicken, fresh veggies, and a rich and creamy Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch dip? Eating all that deliciousness in a pool of course! And if you’re in a pool, then you need this pool float that’s made for snacking!
