Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken fillet cut into 3-4" strips
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp chili
  • 1/3 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/3 tsp granulated onion
  • 1/3 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/3 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl - all-purpose flour, as well as salt, spices and herbs.
  • Mix buttermilk with water to make it a little thinner.
  • Roll the strips of chicken fillet on all sides in flour and shake off the excess.
  • Dip the chicken strips in the buttermilk until they are completely covered.
  • Dip the chicken strips again in flour to make a shell.
  • Lay the floured chicken fillet on the wire rack and leave for 10-15 minutes. This is best done so that the pieces of flour do not fall off the chicken during frying. At the same time, pour 2-3 inches of frying oil into the pan and heat to 350F.
  • Using kitchen tongs or a fork, transfer the chicken fillet to the hot oil for frying. Cook, turning, until the color of coating is light brown, about 6-7 minutes. Don't add too many chicken pieces to the pan all at once, as the temperature of the oil will drop too much and the coating may also be damaged.
  • Place the fried chicken pieces on a wire rack to drain excess oil. After 5 minutes, crispy chicken can be tasted.
