Spicy Buttermilk Jalapeño Chicken Strips

Do you ever get tired of the same ol’ thing when it comes to chicken strips? If so, then you have got to try these spicy buttermilk jalapeño chicken strips. Definitely different from the standard strips. The jalapeños take these chicken strips up a notch from the norm. These chicken strips are crunchy, delicious and a bit on the spicy side.

With this recipe, the jalapeños, along with the red crushed peppers, add delicious flavor to the chicken. Then when combined with the remaining ingredients, these chicken strips have a nice kick to them. 

Spicy Buttermilk Jalapeño Chicken Strips

Basically, add the chicken strips to a large size baggie and pour in the buttermilk, add diced jalapeños, crushed red peppers, black pepper and zip the bag closed. Shake gently to mix and then place the bag in the refrigerator for 2 hours to marinate.

Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. In another large size baggie, add flour, bread crumbs, corn starch, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning and garlic salt. Seal and shake to combine.

Take a few chicken strips at a time from the buttermilk mixture, and add to the flour mixture. Seal and shake to coat. Next, once coated, place each chicken strip into the hot oil and cook for about 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of your strips), then flip and continue cooking for about 7-8 more minutes or until internal temperature reaches 170°. Continue until all 9 strips are cooked. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil. Then enjoy!

    Just made these strips and they were amazing! Twice baked potatoes and fried okra as the sides. Delish?

      Hi Shannon, for this recipe we had broccoli as the side. But any side would be great, corn on the cob, home style fries, onion rings, cole slaw. :)
