Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips and place them in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing it in to ensure an even coating.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with honey mustard sauce.
