Bonnies Crunchy Spicy Chicken Strips Recipes

Steps:

• Submerge the chicken strips in the buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you'd like).
• In another bowl, combine the flour and seasoning salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, gradually drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it to achieve clumps.
• Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
• Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked chicken strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating the 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 and the chicken is done, remove them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not allow them to burn.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a wide, shallow bowl. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and pat dry with kitchen paper. Turn them over in the buttermilk, leave in the dish and chill for 1 hr. Meanwhile, for the salad, mix the carrot with the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix the sauce ingredients together in another bowl and set both aside.
• Heat a large, non-stick frying pan, tip in the breadcrumbs and toast in the dry pan for 2-3 mins until pale brown, stirring regularly so they don't burn. Tip into a bowl and break up any large clumps.
• Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Tip the crumbs onto a large plate, then lift the chicken breasts from the buttermilk, and roll them in the crumbs, making sure they are coated evenly.
• Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the chicken for 1-2 mins over a medium-high heat, then turn it over, adding the rest of the oil and fry for 1 min more.
• Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for 5 mins, then rest for 5 mins and cut into strips. Serve the chicken and the carrot salad with the sauce and baked potatoes.

Steps:

• BROCCOLI SLAW Preparation(To make your own)- Cut off ¼ of the bottom hard part of the broccoli stem and discard, then cut just below the flowerets, next take a carrot peeler and remove the outside hard part of the broccoli, then cut in half and then make thin match stick size slices, next add match stick slivers of baby carrots and finally add a small amount of red cabbage for color, mix together and set aside.
• CHICKEN PIECES Preparation- Cut chicken breast into thin slices, then with a meat hammer tenderizer/pound each side flat, set aside.
• SPICE MIX Preparation- Combine with potato flakes the 9 spices listed just below the potato flakes, mix and set aside.
• VEGETABLE THICKENING SAUCE Preparation- In a cup combine the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, cornstarch and mix well, set aside.
• COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a baking pan about 13" x 9" (larger size for 2 chicken breasts), line with aluminum foil (if you prefer an easy clean-up) and then add 2 tablespoons oil & 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, then spread around the surface of the pan.
• Dip the chicken into the beaten egg and then coat chicken pieces thoroughly in the potato flake mixture.
• Next add to baking pan and cook uncovered for about 7-10 minutes, next turn all the pieces and cook another 7-10 or so minutes, check to see if the pieces are done and not overcooked (very thin slices will cook faster the thicker ones).
• While the chicken is cooking, in wok add 2 tablespoons oil, ginger and garlic and stir a few seconds, next add the broccoli slaw, stir-fry for about 2 minutes (add a touch of water as needed).
• Next add the thickening sauce to the wok and stir fry a few moments more, then add the 3 tablespoons of the cilantro leaves, stir briefly, then place the vegetables around the edge of a nice sized plate for serving.
• When the chicken is done add to the center of the plate, drizzle the honey on the chicken pieces and next add the cilantro sprigs as garnish.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE.
• This recipe is for 2 servings, however, if you add a second chicken breast just double the ingredients and it can then easily serve 4 people,
• Further, this recipe was created for one of the RSC contests and Broccoli Slaw and Honey had been required ingredients. However, you can cut down on the preparation and cooking time for this recipe by eliminating the Broccoli Slaw (steps #1 and #4) and Honey if you would like.
• Also, adding a pinch of Bijol coloring to the spice mix, will give the chicken pieces a slightly yellow and appealing color.

Steps:

• Slice chicken long or short, your way is best.
• Soak chicken in wine for an hour or overnight.
• Mix together flour, bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
• Coat chicken strips with flour mixture.
• Dip in milk.
• Coat a second time with flour.
• Heat stove top to medium.
• Cook until brown and cooked all the way through.
• Sprinkle lemon salt and pepper on both sides while cooking.

Steps:

• Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board (see Cook's Note). Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 even strips. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
• Pour 1 cup buttermilk over the chicken. Marinate at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes or overnight in the fridge if time allows.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep, heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 to 375 degrees F.
• Stir together the 1/4 cup honey in a small bowl with as much hot sauce as you like (I use 1 tablespoon, but I like it spicy.) Set aside until ready to serve.
• Stir together the flour, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder if using.
• Stir the remaining 1/3 cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture until it has a chunky consistency.
• Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture so that each piece is fully coated and place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Working in batches to avoid crowding the pot, add 3 to 4 pieces of the coated chicken and fry, undisturbed, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and fry until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken strips to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, season with a pinch of salt and hold in the warm oven. Check the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed to bring it back to 350 to 275 degrees F, then repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Serve the fried chicken strips immediately with the hot honey.

Steps:

• Lightly coat chicken with flour (this will help the batter stick) let dry 5-10 minutes.
• Mix together pancake mix, club soda and seasonings.
• Deep fry in 425 degree oil about 6-8 minutes, or until cooked thoroughly.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Submerge the chicken strips in the buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you'd like).
• In another bowl, combine the flour and seasoning salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, gradually drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it to achieve clumps. It is the clumpy batter that gives this chicken it's crunchy coating.
• Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
• Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked chicken strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating the chicken strips until they are all ready to cook.
• When the oil is sufficiently heated, begin cooking the strips a few at a time. Do not overload the pan or the oil temperature will drop.
• Cook them for about a minute and a half or so on each side. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken tenders.
• When golden and crispy and the chicken is done, remove them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not allow them to burn.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!

Steps:

• Pour milk into a deep bowl and set aside.
• Cut chicken into 1 inch strips lengthwise and then soak in milk while you get rest of recipe ready.

• Place strips, one at a time, in the corn flake mixture and coat well.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet and bake at 350º for 15-18 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
• To freeze: Allow to cool on cookie sheet. Flash freeze. Place chicken strips in freezer bags. Seal, label, freeze.
