Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken strips with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, panko, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken: buttermilk, flour mixture, buttermilk, flour mixture again.
- Chicken fries can be baked at 400°F for 15-20 minutes for a lighter version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
