  • The ¼ cup of water
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  1. In a medium saucepan combine BBQ sauce, water, honey, ketchup, and liquid smoke. Mix well and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Allow the sauce to cool slightly when finished simmering.
  2. Meanwhile, in a pie dish combine flour, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Place the buttermilk into a separate bowl. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. Dip chicken strips first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk, and then again in the flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken strips are well coated.
