Fried Buttermilk Chicken Strips Recipes

Steps:

• For the waffles: Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
• In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then whisk in the buttermilk and butter until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until the batter comes together; there will be lumps. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Set a baking rack over baking sheet and place on the center rack. Preheat a waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions and brush with melted butter.
• For each waffle, ladle about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the iron. Cover and cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes; the waffles will be a little misshapen--not perfectly square, with rounded corners. As you go, transfer the cooked waffles to the baking rack in the oven and hold there while you fry the chicken.
• For the fried chicken: While the waffle batter rests, place the chicken tenders in a resealable plastic bag. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and the hot sauce, then seal the bag and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour with the garlic powder, onion powder, chile de arbol, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer half of the flour mixture to a second bowl. In a third bowl, put the remaining 1 cup buttermilk.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a high-sided skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, dredge the chicken in the first dish of seasoned flour, then dip in the buttermilk, letting excess drain off, and finally dredge in the second bowl of seasoned flour, tapping off excess. Fry until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• To serve, put two waffles on each of four plates. Top them with three tenders and drizzle all with hot sauce, if desired, and honey.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix buttermilk, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to make the marinade. Place chicken in a large bowl or a large Ziploc bag. Pour marinade over chicken and seal tightly. Keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. In a shallow dish used for dredging, mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and baking powder. Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs also make good additions if you like. Then add buttermilk and combine until mixture is evenly clumpy. Remove chicken from refrigerator and shake off buttermilk mixture. Dredge chicken in flour mixture and prepare to fry. Heat oil in a large, deep and heavy skillet. When oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place coated chicken in hot oil and fry until golden brown and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, pepper, salt and paprika. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then flour mixture., In an electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Soak chicken in buttermilk several hours or over night.
• Drain off buttermilk into a dipping container and whisk in eggs.
• Coat chicken with half of each of the seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic, and cayenne.
• In another dipping container mix crackers and flour along with remaining seasonings.
• Next, dip the breast into dry then wet, then back into dry again.
• Shallow fry in batches of peanut oil heated to 350 in a cast iron skillet until golden brown, about 8-10 min per side.

Steps:

• Soak chicken tenders in buttermilk for 20 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• While chicken is soaking, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, mustard powder, paprika, and pepper in a large brown bag.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drain chicken and shake lightly to remove excess buttermilk. Chicken should still be damp. Drop chicken into the bag of seasoned flour and shake until well coated.
• Drop chicken into hot oil, about 6 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your pot. Cook until golden brown, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still warm.

Steps:

• Flatten chicken breasts and slice into large strips. Place in a large bowl and cover completely with buttermilk. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
• Fill a pie plate or large shallow bowl with flour, season with salt and pepper. Heat two skillets with about a 1/2-inch of oil. While the oil is heating, coats the chicken fingers with the seasoned flour.
• Fry chicken in the oil until done (oil should not cover the top of the breasts), about 10 minutes per batch.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Slice each chicken breast into thick strips.
• Whisk flour, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and cayenne together and pour into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Pour buttermilk into a shallow dish.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed pan at least 4 inches deep with oil and heat it to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).
• Place several chicken strips in the plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake a couple of times until strips are coated. Repeat to coat remaining strips. Dip each strip into buttermilk, then back into the flour mixture.
• Fry the strips, 4 or 5 at a time, in the hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then transfer to a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven as you fry the remaining strips.

Steps:

• In a deep bowl mix together buttermilk, pepper sauce, and mashed garlic.
• Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that they are in strips roughly 1 inch wide and 4-7 inches long.
• Add chicken to buttermilk, pepper, garlic mix and stir so that chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.
• Remove chicken from refrigerator about 1/2 hour before cooking.
• In a shallow dish mix together the all purpose flour, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and ground pepper. Exact amounts of spices can be adjusted to personal tastes.
• Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture one piece at a time shake off excess liquid and then toss into flour mixture to coat. Place each piece on a clean dry baking pan. When all pieces are coated, dip each piece, one at a time again, into buttermilk and toss again in flour mixture, remove and set in back into baking pan.
• Pour about 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil (canola, corn, peanut, etc.) into a heavy skillet or use a deep fryer filled with oil (as per fryer specifications), and heat oil to 360 degrees.
• Carefully drop pieces of chicken a few at a time into hot oil and cook about 3-4 minutes until pieces are golden brown. Do not add too many pieces at one time or the oil temperature will drop too low.
• Remove chicken from hot oil and place on clean paper towels to drain. These serve immediately or allow to cool to room temperature.
• For extra spicy chicken increase amount of cayenne pepper in flour mixture.
