Hot Spicy Buffalo Chicken Strips

spicychickenstrips
Hot and spicy buffalo chicken strips are a great way to keep warm and kick off the winter blues. I'm also always looking for a party food. When I have some people over for games or movie night, these hot and spicy chicken strips keep the crowd pleased. I make them with a simple and delicious combination of hot sauce, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Then, I dredge them in flour, egg, and Panko bread crumbs. Believe me, they come out crispy and spectacular. You can deep fry, air fry, or bake them. To top things off, you can make them up in about 30 minutes. Life doesn't get any better.

Ingredients
  • 3 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into vertically into strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce of your choice
Instructions

  1. Add the chicken into a large mixing bowl followed by the salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Mix until well combined and the chicken is coated. 

  2. For the first dredging station add the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic to a mixing bowl.

  3. In the second bowl, add the egg and milk. Beat until mixed.

  4. In the third bowl, place the Panko bread crumbs in followed by 1/4 cup of the flour mixture from the first bowl. Mix until well incorporated.

  5. Dredge the chicken into the flour and shake off any excess. Next into the egg mixture and ensure it's completely covered. Lastly, dredge in the Panko and place into the bottom of a air fryer sprayed or oiled.

     

  6. Air fry at 350 degrees F or 180 C for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Alternatively, you can deep fry the chicken at 350 F or 180 C for about 4 minutes on each side. Baking at the same temperature is another option.

  7. Serve with your favourite sauce and enjoy your hot and spicy chicken strips.

Note

As always, the recipe can be altered to your taste. The type and amounts of seasoning is optional.

On more of a personal note, I find they are nicer deep fried and maintain the crispness air fried. It is a matter of choice, however. 

You can also use chicken tenderloins, but I find them to be on the pricy side.
