Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large egg (beaten)
1/4 cup milk (2% or whole milk)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
Cooking oil for frying
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins

Steps:

  • Make your dredging station: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Add the self-rising flour and whisk until well combined.
  • In a small bowl, add the 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  • Heat the oil: In a large skillet, Dutch oven, or fryer, heat your cooking oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll need about 1 inch of cooking oil in a skillet or Dutch oven, enough to almost completely cover the breaded chicken pieces.
  • Coat the chicken dipping each piece into the batter and allowing the batter to drip a bit before transferring it into the next bowl of flour. Turn to lightly coat with flour, then transfer into the heated oil. Repeat for a few pieces, making sure to not crowd the chicken.
  • Fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and not have any pink coloring in the center of the thickest pieces.
  • Repeat in small batches as needed until cooked. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To achieve the signature Chili's breading, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Soak the chicken strips in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before breading. This tenderizes the chicken and helps the breading adhere.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken strips. This will ensure that they cook evenly and don't crowd each other.
  • Cook the chicken strips over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken strips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
