Method
Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk. Allow excess buttermilk to drip off, then dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Set aside on a wire rack.

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

Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
