Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups Canola oil or vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1.5 inches each.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each piece into the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Step 7
Carefully place coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked chicken bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried chicken bites immediately with your choice of low sodium dipping sauce.
