These extra-crispy fried chicken tender strips are sure to satisfy even your pickiest eater! Enjoy with dipping sauces like honey or honey mustard, or eat them plain!

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.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds raw chicken breast tenders
1/4 to 1/2 cup buttermilk
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 to 3 teaspoons seasoned salt, such as Lawry's Seasoned Salt, or spices of your choosing
Vegetable oil
Dipping sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Submerge the chicken strips in the buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you'd like).
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and seasoning salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, gradually drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it to achieve clumps.
  • Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
  • Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked chicken strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating the chicken strips until they are all ready to cook.
  • When the oil is sufficiently heated, begin cooking the strips a few at a time. Cook them for about a minute and a half or so on each side. When golden and crispy and the chicken is done, remove them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not allow them to burn.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!

CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP WITH CRISPY TORTILLA STRIPS



Chicken Tortilla Soup with Crispy Tortilla Strips image

When I moved to New York City, I craved a chicken tortilla soup like I used to find back home in Arizona. So, I made my own version with rotisserie chicken and packed it with flavor, using chipotle, tomatoes, garlic, cumin and coriander. Don't forget the toppings! I go for cilantro, avocado, queso fresco and lime juice with fresh, crispy tortilla strips.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 small white onion, diced (reserve 1/4 cup for serving)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1 small chipotle in adobo sauce, from one 7-ounce can chipotles in adobo sauce (see Cook's Note)
8 corn tortillas, 2 torn into large pieces and 6 cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
12 ounces shredded rotisserie chicken (about 3 cups)
2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges, for serving
Cilantro leaves, diced avocado and crumbled queso fresco, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until very tender and browned in spots, about 6 minutes. Add the coriander and cumin and cook until the spices have toasted slightly and become fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the chicken broth, then scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender. Add the tomatoes, chipotle, the torn tortillas, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the soup back into the pot and stir in the remaining 3 cups chicken broth, 2 cups water and the shredded chicken. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and gently simmer until the chicken is very tender and the soup has thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 365 degrees F. Add the tortilla strips, in two batches, and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
  • Add the lime juice to the soup, then season with salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls, top with the crispy tortilla strips, reserved diced onion, cilantro, avocado and queso fresco. Serve with remaining lime wedges.

Provided by Rose Mary Mogan

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 pieces boneless, skinless chicken strips
2 pkg ranch dressing mix (dry pkgs)
1 3/4 c panko bread crumbs (japanese bread crumbs)
1 c parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp white pepper
1/2 c butter, melted (1 stick)
non stick butter flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a gallon size zip lock bag, add panko bread crumbs, dry ranch dressing mix, parmesan cheese and all of the spices, then shake to mix completely. Set aside till needed. Spray a large jelly roll size pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed.
  • 2. In a separate small dish large enough to accomodate chicken strips, melt the butter in microwave and set aside. Wash chicken strips as desired and drain. Then in another plate or platter add some of the bread crumb mixture.
  • 3. Now you are ready to begin. Add the chicken strips one at a time into the melted butter, then remove and drain excess butter, then add chicken strip to plate of bread crumbs, and coat on all sides pressing firmly into the crumbs. Then place on the prepared baking pan.
  • 4. Repeat until all the pieces have been coated, adding more bread crumbs as needed. If you have some of the crumbs left over, you can store them into the freezer to use at a later time, because you did not contaminate them with the raw chicken.
  • 5. Now spray each piece of chicken lightly with the non stick cooking spray. Then place in center of preheated 350 degree F. Oven & bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite sides.
  • 6. NOTE: As A TIME SAVER, I KEEP EXTRA BAGS OF THIS Seasoning MIXTURE IN THE FREEZER in a zip lock bag, and then I can use it on Chicken, Fish or Pork Chops when ever needed. It saves a few minutes of getting dinner on the table in a hurry. This recipe is similiar to a recipe in my cookbook, but with slight variations & extra added seasoning. It taste really great.

  • In a Ziploc bag, mix together the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, wisk together the honey, dijon mustard, garlic and onion powder.
  • Coat each strip of chicken with the spiced honey mustard. Be careful not to put too much, or it will get goopy. Just a thin, even coat is all you need.
  • Place a few strips at a time into the ziploc bag filled with breadcrumbs. Seal the bag. Shake to toss and coat the strips thoroughly.
  • Place the breaded strips on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining strips of chicken.
  • Bake for 20 min in a preheated 400 degree oven. (or until chicken is done and juices run clear).
  • Flip each strip over during the last 5 minutes of cooking to brown and crisp on both sides.
