Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized strips or tenders.

Step 2

Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour enough pickle juice over them to fully submerge them. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about an hour. The pickle juice brine will help tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.

Step 3

Open the Buldak Spicy Noodle packs and set aside the spicy sauce packets and crunchy topping packets.

Step 4

Crush the dried noodles into smaller pieces, either by placing them in a plastic bag and gently crushing with a rolling pin or using your hands. Transfer the crushed noodles to a shallow bowl or plate.

Step 5

In three separate bowls, prepare a dredging station. In the first bowl, place some all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat a couple of eggs with a splash of water to create an egg wash. Season the egg wash with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the third bowl, place the crushed noodles.

Step 6

Remove the chicken strips from the pickle juice and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 7

Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it thoroughly in the crushed noodles. Press the noodles onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.

Step 8

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat frying oil to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 10

Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.

Step 11

While the chicken is frying, mix a couple of spoonfuls of the hot oil from the pan with the spicy sauce packets that came with the Buldak Spicy Noodles. Stir well to combine.

Step 12

Once the chicken tenders are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate briefly.

Step 13

Toss the fried chicken tenders in the prepared spicy sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 14

Sprinkle the crunchy topping packet over the sauced chicken tenders. This will add an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Step 15

Serve the Fire Noodle Chicken Tenders while they're still hot and crispy, alongside your favorite dipping sauce or a cooling side.
