Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3/4 cup self-rising flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (optional)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Method
- Cut the chicken breasts into strips or tenders.
- Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a shallow bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Mix together the buttermilk and hot sauce (if using) in a second shallow bowl.
- Dip the chicken first in the buttermilk mixture, then roll in the flour mixture to coat. Once all of the chicken pieces are coated, let them sit for 10 minutes to let the coating stick better.
- Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches, making sure not to crowd the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping once, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce.
