How Do You Make Chicken Fried Steak Bites
Let me show you how easy it is to make these yummy little chicken fried steak bites.
-
Using a large cast iron pan, or an electric skillet, heat oil to 375°.
-
Cut cubed steaks into 1 1/2 inch squares and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess liquid. As you cut the steaks into squares and fill the plate, add another layer of paper towels. Continue stacking steak bites with paper towels in between layers to absorb the liquid and pat dry.
-
While the oil is heating up, add 1 1/2 cup of flour into a large baggie. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour in another large baggie plus add all the spices and seasonings, seal and shake to mix. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs, hot sauce and buttermilk together.
-
Once the oil is ready, pat dry the bites again and place about 10 steak bites into the baggie with the plain flour, seal and shake to coat. Next add the bites to the egg mixture, then into the baggie with the flour and seasonings. Carefully place each piece into the skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides.
-
After the first batch of bites are cooked, place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Place the plate into a preheated oven at 175° to keep warm while the rest of the steak bites are being cooked.
-
Repeat the coating process for the remaining steak bites. For best results, make sure to coat the steak bites right before going putting them into the skillet.
-
And finally, serve with your favorite country gravy.

What is the recipe for “slap ya mama” seasoning?
Hi JoBeth, I don’t have the exact recipe. It is available at Walmart and most of the local grocery stores. It’s a Cajun seasoning and it is so good. :)
