Method
Chicken Strips
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips and place them in a bowl. Pour in the buttermilk and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Breading

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, coating evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
