Fried chicken has been a classic dish for many generations, and I remember my grandmother making it for us as children. She would always make it with love, and it was always a hit. I can still remember the smell of the chicken frying in the pan, and the sound of the oil sizzling. I would always be so excited when I heard her say it was ready, and I would always be the first to try it. Now, I make it for my own family, and they love it just as much as I do.

Ingredients

  • 3 (450g) chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) paprika

Cooking Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips and buttermilk. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch (1.25cm) of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve the fried chicken strips hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
