Crispy Fried Chicken Strips

These super crispy fried chicken strips are an easy recipe in which I cut the chicken breasts into strips, marinate them in buttermilk, and then fry them until golden brown and crispy.

Equipment

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts , boneless skinless
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all purpose flour
¾ teaspoon paprika
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then cut each chicken breast into four strips.
4 chicken breasts
In a mixing bowl, mix together buttermilk and hot sauce, and then soak the chicken for 20-30 minutes.
1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon hot sauce
In a small bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and baking powder and in another small bowl, add the eggs.
2 cups all purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon paprika, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 2 eggs
Now, dip each strip of chicken into the flour mixture, then into eggs, and then back into the flour mixture. Gently shake off the excess flour.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat and fry the chicken in small batches for about 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.
½ cup vegetable oil

Notes

Season the chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce ahead of time— approximately the night before you fry them. This will give your chicken enough time to be well-seasoned.
