Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders, or skinless, cut into strips, chicken breast
1½ cups buttermilk
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 tsp baking powder
salt and ground black pepper, for seasoning and to taste
1¼ tsp paprika, divided
vegetable oil, for frying
potato fries, or sweet potato, of your choice
mayonnaise
barbeque sauce
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the ½ cup of flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1½ tablespoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of paprika.
Add in the chicken and ensure that the meat is generously covered with the flour and seasoning.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, pinches of salt and black pepper, and buttermilk. Mix well to make the batter.
Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk.
Next, prepare a pot for deep frying and prepare a tray lined with some paper towels. Take out the chicken and shake off the excess marinade.
Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil and allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and place on the paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all the chicken pieces have been fried.
Serve with mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and a side of fries, and enjoy!
