Servings: 6
Ingredients
- vegetable oil
- 2 pounds chicken breast cut into strips
- 1½ cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
- dash pepper
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Add buttermilk to a bowl and let chicken strips sit in buttermilk for about 20 minutes.
- Heat oil on medium-high heat in a pan (about 350°F).
- While oil is heating, add flour, garlic salt, pepper, and baking powder to another bowl (and mix together) and the beaten eggs to a third bowl.
- Take chicken strips out of the buttermilk bowl and then place into the flour mixture, then into the egg mix, and then back into the flour mix.
- Fry chicken pieces in oil for 7-9 minutes on each side (or until golden brown). The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F.
- Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
