Crispy Chicken Bites

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Battering Station

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Bites

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil (do not overcrowd). Fry in batches for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with your choice of signature honey mustard or Nashville hot sauce for dipping.
