Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce over the chicken pieces. Stir to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
In a shallow dish or pie pan, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Remove marinated chicken pieces from the refrigerator. Using a fork, take each piece from the buttermilk mixture allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage. Shake off any excess flour.
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (180°C). It's best to use a thermometer to maintain stable oil temperature.
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Serve the Soy-Free Crispy Chicken Mini Bites hot, as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
