Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
2 cups buttermilk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups peanut oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Soak chicken tenders in buttermilk for 20 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While chicken is soaking, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, mustard powder, paprika, and pepper in a large brown bag.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Drain chicken and shake lightly to remove excess buttermilk. Chicken should still be damp. Drop chicken into the bag of seasoned flour and shake until well coated.
Drop chicken into hot oil, about 6 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your pot. Cook until golden brown, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still warm.

4 eggs
1 -2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
1 -2 teaspoon garlic powder, divided

Shallow fry in batches of peanut oil heated to 350 in a cast iron skillet until golden brown, about 8-10 min per side.

Tips:

Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your chicken strips the best flavor. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will have. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
Use a good quality breading: The breading is what gives fried chicken its crispy coating. Make sure you use a breading that is made with fresh ingredients and that has a good flavor.
Fry the chicken in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough so that the chicken sizzles when it hits the pan. If the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will not cook evenly and it will be greasy.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When you fry the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly and it will be greasy.
Cook the chicken until it is golden brown: The chicken is cooked when it is golden brown and the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Fried buttermilk chicken strips are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fried buttermilk chicken strips are crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.
