Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 240 milliliters Buttermilk
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
Step 2
In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken strips, making sure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Mix well.
Step 4
Beat the eggs in a shallow dish until fully blended.
Step 5
Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dip each strip into the flour mixture to coat.
Step 7
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg wash, ensuring it is coated completely.
Step 8
Finally, press the chicken strip into the breadcrumbs until fully coated and place on a clean plate.
Step 9
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it's hot enough for frying, about 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Carefully add the chicken strips in batches to avoid overcrowding, frying each batch for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 11
Remove the chicken strips from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 12
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces or sides.
