Real southern fried chicken (at least how I was taught to make it) is soaked in eggs and buttermilk, then rolled in flour with salt and pepper and then fried in fat until it is so dark brown is is about to turn black and has a thick crust that snaps when you pinch it.
Gravy made with the drippings is what most seem to prefer for boneless chicken tenders, but personally I like to dunk them in homemade blue cheese dressing.

Eggs and buttermilk? I've soaked it in buttermilk, drained it, then fried it, but never tried it with egg. My mother can get a good "scald" on it, but for some reason, I still struggle. Sometimes I think it's because I know she'll make it, since I can't!
PS: Cast iron fryer?
