Hey everyone! I just had to share my go-to recipe for crispy chicken strips. They're a hit in my house, and I bet your family will love them too! Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great!)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Oil for frying
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. This makes them super tender and juicy!
- Prep the Coating: In one bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs, making sure each strip is well-coated.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches until they're golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Drain and Serve: Place the cooked strips on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces – honey mustard and ranch are my faves!
