Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 250 milliliters Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain excess buttermilk mixture.
Dredge each chicken piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Press lightly to adhere the flour to the chicken.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully add the chicken bites to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried chicken bites from the oil and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
