How to Make Buttermilk Honey Fried Chicken Fingers

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and your favorite flavoring (paprika, garlic powder, etc.).
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips, to the buttermilk mixture. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). This will keep cooked chicken warm.
  4. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 quart of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  5. In a large paper bag, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon salt.
  6. Working in batches, dredge about 8 chicken strips in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Gently shake the bag to distribute the flour evenly.
  7. Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Transfer to the preheated oven to keep warm.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining chicken, maintaining the oil temperature at 375°F (190°C) between batches.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
