One of the easiest things to make with chicken is possibly crispy chicken strips. This recipe is great if you are looking for a quick meal. Just marinate overnight, a few minutes to coat, throw them in the deep fryer and you’re done! The marinade for the strips not only enhances the overall flavor but also leaves them super juicy coming out of the deep fryer. The coating tastes amazing and they are double-dipped leaving them extra crispy. If you like to add a little heat to your strips, not a problem, just throw a little cayenne pepper into the seasoning mixture and your set. You can either use whole chicken breasts and cut them into strips or just buy chicken tenders from the store. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.

Thanks for that Bobby. The kids absolutely loved it. So tender and crispy. Best of all, oil was fresh. I gave some to my friend and I now got him hooked on you website as well :) Thanks for your reply.

Shady - leave out the potassium chloride, its really not necessary. You can also leave out the accent salt, and maybe just add a bit of extra salt.

Hello Bobby, I am interested in making this recipe but was wondering what I can use as a substitute for the potassium chloride and accent salt? I have all the other ingredients and would love to make this for the fam soon. Thanks in advance for your help!

Karen- I would just leave the potassium chloride out of the recipe. The chicken base paste sounds like it would work to me. Otherwise, you should be able to find it in a bottle in almost any grocery store.
