Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 4-5 inches long. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until combined.

Step 4

Dip each chicken strip into the buttermilk mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. For extra crispy chicken, repeat the process by dipping the coated chicken back into the buttermilk and flour mixtures again.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

Step 6

Fry the chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook each batch for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

To prepare the Come Back Sauce, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and hot sauce together in a bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Serve the fried chicken fingers hot with the Come Back Sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
