Method
Preparing Chicken Strips
- 1
Slice Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.
- 2
Marinate
In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- 3
Prepare Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- 4
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Coat Chicken
Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 6
Fry Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Cook Glaze
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter has melted and the glaze is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.

Glaze Chicken
Once the chicken strips are fried and drained, drizzle the honey glaze over the chicken or toss the strips in the glaze to coat evenly.
