Is the flour all purpose or self rising?
All purpose.
What temperature should the oil at before putting them in? Also, my breeding keeps falling off the chicken. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?
Great recipe, I love chicken and this delicious crunchy bites are amazing, thank you.
Great chicken recipe, I will try to prepare this for my girl tomorrow night, I hope she will be happy…. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
I’m not really sure what “one package of chicken breasts ~ strips or tenders” means. Could we get that in a real measurement like pounds or ounces?
2 pounds. I updated the recipe too! Thanks.
Really good! I used brown flour and it turned out fantastic!
I drizzled in 1/4 to 1/2 cup buttermilk into the flour, stirring lightly with a fork as I drizzled.
I also used Tony Cacheres seasoning instead Lawry’s. Tastes great.
Not sure what the texture is suppose to be for the breaded part – and when adding the buttermilk to the flour
Thank you
