Method

Fried Chicken Strips

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat Chicken

    Remove chicken strips from buttermilk and shake off excess. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully place coated chicken strips in hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Texas Toast

  1. 6

    Prepare Butter Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic powder until well combined.

  2. 7

    Toast Bread

    Spread garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the slices butter-side down. Toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and toast the other side if desired.

Pickle Spears

  1. 8

    Slice Pickles

    Cut each dill pickle in half lengthwise to create spears. Set aside for serving.

Sauces

  1. 9

    Prepare Sauces

    Serve the Jalapeño Ranch and BOB sauce in small bowls for dipping.
