Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce over the chicken pieces. Stir to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
In a shallow dish or pie pan, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Step 4
Remove marinated chicken pieces from the refrigerator. Using a fork, take each piece from the buttermilk mixture allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (180°C). It's best to use a thermometer to maintain stable oil temperature.
Step 7
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Soy-Free Crispy Chicken Mini Bites hot, as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
