Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the chicken:
- In a bowl, mix buttermilk and egg. Add the chicken pieces and let them soak for 15-30 minutes (this makes them extra tender).
2️⃣ Prepare the breading:
- In another bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder.
3️⃣ Coat the chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off.
- Coat each piece in the seasoned flour. Press gently to make sure the coating sticks.
4️⃣ Fry the chicken:
- Heat the oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
5️⃣ Make the sauce:
- While the chicken is frying, heat your chosen sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring until combined.
6️⃣ Toss & Serve:
- Toss the crispy chicken bites in the warm sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Notes
📌 Extra Crispy? Double-dip the chicken: after the first flour coating, dip it back into buttermilk and then coat in flour again.
🌶 Spicier? Add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture or extra hot sauce to the Buffalo sauce.
🍗 Air Fryer Option: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
🧄 Garlic Lovers: Add roasted garlic or garlic powder to the sauce.
