Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast (cut into strips)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions
-
Marinate the Chicken:
Place chicken strips in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to tenderize. -
Prepare the Breading:
In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. -
Coat the Chicken:
Remove chicken strips from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. -
Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 180°C or 350°F). -
Fry the Chicken:
Carefully add the chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. -
Serve:
Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or BBQ!
Notes
- For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken by dipping it back in buttermilk and then the flour mixture again before frying.
- These tenders can be baked at 200°C (400°F) for about 20-25 minutes for a healthier alternative.
