Start by patting the chicken tenders dry, and give them a sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Next, pulse the pecans in a blender or food processor until you have a fine crumb.
Combine the crumbs with parsley, garlic powder, cayenne, flour, salt, pepper, and Panko.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
One at a time, dip the chicken strips into the mixture, and then into the pecan mixture.
Fry the chicken until crispy and golden. Then transfer them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
