Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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!

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

After reviewing several oven-fried, baked chicken recipes, I created this spicy, savory, slightly sweet, crispy baked chicken without any added salt. Using a cooking rack inside the baking dish helps to keep the chicken crispy on all sides and prevent the chicken from getting soggy on the bottom.

Tips:

  • To achieve extra crispy chicken strips, make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into even-sized strips. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • For a flavorful coating, whisk together a mixture of flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano, to taste.
  • Before coating the chicken strips in the flour mixture, dip them in beaten eggs. This will help the coating adhere to the chicken and prevent it from falling off during baking.
  • To ensure that the chicken strips are cooked through, bake them at a high temperature (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve the chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Crispy oven-baked chicken strips are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking by adjusting the spices and herbs in the coating.
