Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornstarch
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into long, even strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoons of paprika, and 0.5 teaspoons of cayenne pepper to the mixture. Submerge the chicken strips into the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum tenderness).
In another large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, remaining salt, ground black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the marinated chicken strips from the buttermilk mixture. Allow any excess liquid to drain off before dredging them in the seasoned flour mixture.
Press the flour mixture firmly onto the chicken strips to create a thick, even coating. Repeat for all the strips and set them aside on a clean plate.
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 6-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the hot and spicy crispy chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
