Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup hot sauce
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– Vegetable oil, for frying
– Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with the hot sauce and mix well. Add the chicken strips, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drain off.
3. Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Place the coated strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C) over medium-high heat for frying. Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
5. Once the chicken strips are cooked through and crispy, transfer them to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken strips.
6. In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter and additional hot sauce. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined. Adjust the heat level to your preference by adding more or less hot sauce.
7. Toss the fried chicken strips in the prepared buffalo sauce, ensuring each strip is generously coated with the spicy and tangy mixture.
