How to Make Kfc Crispy Strips

1. Cut 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 lbs total) into 1-inch thick strips, or purchase 2 lbs of pre-cut chicken tenders.
2. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, marinate chicken strips overnight in the prepared marinade (recipe below).
3. **KFC-Style Marinade:** Whisk together 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
4. Preheat approximately 3 inches of vegetable shortening or canola oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
5. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup of buttermilk.
6. In a separate shallow dish, place 2 cups of all-purpose flour seasoned generously with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
7. Dip each chicken strip in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
8. Dredge the chicken strip in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to adhere. Double dip for extra crispy coating.
9. Carefully place chicken strips in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding (about 4-6 strips at a time). Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The chicken will float when it is done.
10. Remove the chicken strips with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade KFC-style crispy strips!
