Pioneer Woman's Homemade Chicken Strips



It seems like I've been on a roll with winning recipes the last couple of weeks. All of the new ones that I've made have turned out yummy. This one is no exception, Pioneer Woman's Chicken Strips. I'd have to say that these are about the best chicken strips that me and my family have ever eaten. They are crispy on the outside, and moist and tender on the inside, better then any restaurant version I've tried.


Pioneer Woman's Homemade Chicken Strips


 1 package Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Strips (sometimes Called "tenders" Or "strips")
Buttermilk
1-½ cup Flour
2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoning Salt 
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Canola Oil


Start by rinsing and drying your chicken strips. Next, in a bowl submerge the chicken strips in buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you’d like).
In another bowl combine about 1 ½ cups flour and 2 to 3 teaspoons of Lawry’s Seasoning Salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, add about ¼ to ½ cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat them thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating 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, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!
