Homemade Chicken Strips


I was on a quest to find a recipe for chicken strips that would taste similar to those from a restaurant,  and I think I found it!    I think the secret is soaking the chicken in buttermilk.  Makes tasty chicken strips!

I found the recipe over at the Pioneer Woman's blog.  But here is the recipe:

Soak chicken strips in buttermilk for 20 minutes (I soaked them for about 2 hours, I'm thinking the longer the better)

Mix 1 1/2 cups of flour.  paprika and pepper in bowl (I just eye-balled the amount).  Drizzle 1/2 cup of buttermilk into milk while mixing with a fork (this makes the yummy crispy bits form on the strips)

Fry in oil (I use coconut oil) for 1-2 min per side

thats it!

Hugs and happy cooking!

(note:  we bought our first roll of paper towels since we gave them up in september, just for this recipe.  Draining oil onto a dish rags grosses me out... )    ;)
