Who says chicken strips have to come out of a bag? 😂 Around here, we like them big, crispy, juicy, and made from an actual chicken breast!
These homemade chicken strips were made by slicing full chicken breasts into generous strips, seasoning them, coating them in seasoned flour, dipping them into an egg and buttermilk wash, then finishing them with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
They were dropped into the fryer just long enough to get that beautiful golden crust, then finished in a 375° oven until they reached the perfect temperature. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and exactly what a chicken strip should be.
We paired them with a simple side salad and raspberry vinaigrette, along with sugar free honey mustard and BBQ sauce for dipping.
This is also one of those meals that would make a great catering option. Chicken strips are easy, familiar, kid friendly, and can be paired with everything from salads and fries to mac and cheese, coleslaw, or fresh fruit.
Sometimes simple food done right is hard to beat!
