How long does it take to fully tenderize chicken tenders/fingers when marinading/brining it in buttermilk?

I heard something about a few hours should be enough, but I'm guessing it has to also mostly depend on how thick or small you cut the chicken too. Right? So after cutting it as small or thick as tenders/fingers, should take the shortest to fully tenderize when soaked in buttermilk. Right?

1. Little hint: when the chook(chicken in Australia) is in the marinade, poke it all over with a fork so the marinade will go through the whole chook pieces. Can do this overnight if you wish, or a few hours before as well. Delicious.
2. why would you want to tenderize something that's already been tenderized? LOL anyway, when i marinate my chicken, i use Italian dressing, let it sit overnight and then i put it on the grill. mmmmmmmmm it's tender, juicy and very tasty.
