Double Coated Fried Chicken Fingers
- 2 lbs chicken cutlets
- 16oz buttermilk
- 32oz peanut oil
- 4cups All purpose flour(throw out remaining)
- For flour mix:
- 4 tablespoons garlic powder
- 6 tablespoons onion powder
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- For Buttermilk:
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 1st clean the chicken cutlets.
- Slice the cutlets into strips that are about 4-5 inches.
- (you should get about 3-4 strips per cutlet)put aside.
- Season the strips w/ a pinch of salt and pepper-lightly. put aside
- In a large bowl pour in your flour, salt,pepper,garlic and onion powder and mix together.
- In a flat bowl or plate mix your buttermilk,garlic powder and onion powder together.
- Take the strips and dredge them in the buttermilk. Then coat them with the flour mix.
- It should feel sticky. Repeat the Dredging and coating again. (each strip should be double coated with this combo).
- Repeat this method until all strips are done.
- Heat your oil in a large pot.
- Make sure your oil is ready and hot, if not the chicken will be cold and soggy and become not crispy.
- Test the oil. I use one piece of chicken to see if ready and if it sizzles its ready.
- Deep fry to a golden brown texture.
- Place the fried chicken strips on paper towel and let cool. Caution they will be extremely hot so please let them cool.
- Dipping sauce
- I buy Knorrs Roasted Chicken gravy(the dry package and add sauteed mushrooms to the gravy and some fresh Italian parsley).
- Serve with Country Mashed potatoes and the gravy.
- Enjoy
