Chicken Strips
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Place them in a bowl.
- 2
Marinate in Buttermilk
Pour the buttermilk over the chicken strips. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all chicken is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Breading and Frying
- 3
Prepare Breading Mixture
In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Mix well to combine.
- 4
Coat Chicken Strips
Remove chicken strips from the marinade and let the excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 5
Heat Oil
In a large deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
- 6
Fry Chicken Strips
Carefully add the coated chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried chicken strips and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fried chicken strips hot, with your choice of dipping sauce.
