Chicken Strips Recipe

Chicken Strips
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.

    It is very similar to “Spring Chicken” in my area and have some resemblance to KFC Chicken. I have eaten it so much in last week that i am irritated now but it is still irresistible.

    I am sure my kids will love this. I checked out potassium cloride in wiki but did not understand what exactly this is. Is it a kind of salt?

    Bobby! Kcl in the marinade!!? Oh very chemistry-ish. You lost me on that one. What does it do, how does it taste, and where do you get it? You have my attention master, so learn me something new!

    Kevin - thanks, they were great!

    Vani - Thanks, if you need help with anything just ask me!

    grace - they are the bomb… really :D

    Violin - They are very irrestistable… soo good.

    Ivy and robinsue - potassium cloride is a type of salt. It’s much like regular salt only a little more bitter. If you can’t find it just use regular salt.
