Provided by Steven McCune

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons water
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders
2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix eggs and water together in a small bowl.
  • Place some chicken strips in the flour mixture to coat, then gently shake to remove any excess flour. Coat strips in egg. Return to the flour mixture and coat again; repeat with egg mixture. Coat once more in the flour mixture, placing strips on a plate while you continue with remaining chicken.
  • Let strips sit for 5 minutes to allow flour to set.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); oil is ready if you drop some water in and it sizzles.
  • Working in batches if needed, place strips in the hot oil. Cook for 8 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook until golden brown, no longer pink in the centers, and juices run clear, about 8 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place strips on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN STRIPS

Since I was 20 years old, I tried to figure out how to get that crispy outside on fried chicken strips that one gets in restaurants--the things we call "chicken fingers." After much trial and error, when I was 26 years old, I got it! Now, I gladly share my recipe with those who'd like it! It's not quick, but it is so worth the effort. Serve as is or with your favorite dipping item such as honey, blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, Buffalo wing sauce, etc.

CRISPY OVEN FRIED BUFFALO CHICKEN STRIPS



Crispy Oven Fried Buffalo Chicken Strips image

I finally found a way to make my chicken fingers crispy! I try not to eat fried foods but I love fried chicken and chicken fingers and chicken nuggets! Everytime I try to make 'oven fried chicken' with regular bread crumbs or corn flakes or potato chips, it always ends up soggy. Well.. I finally tried Panko and it is a Godsend! And I've found the sour cream also helps a ton! For dips I use Blue Cheese and also mixed the Buffalo sauce with some honey and it turned out great. Enjoy!
