- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Pour the buttermilk into another shallow bowl.
- Dip each chicken strip into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the chicken strip in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Place the coated chicken strips on a plate or baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining chicken strips.
