Homemade Chicken Strips

Looking for something to make out of ingredients on-hand the other night, and ran across this recipe from The Pioneer Woman.  Man, my kids loved these homemade chicken strips.  As Katelee calls them, they are mom's chicken nuggets.  I served these with these homemade biscuits and corn, and it was like KFC only tastier.  And definitely healthier.  :)

Ingredients

• 1 package Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Strips (sometimes Called "tenders" Or "strips") (Or I just cut up chicken breasts myself)
• Buttermilk (I used regular milk, and it worked perfectly fine.)
• 1-½ cup Flour 
• 2 teaspoons (to 3 Teaspoons) Lawry's Seasoning Salt (or Spices Of Your Choosing) 
• Vegetable Oil 

Preparation Instructions

Start by rinsing and drying your chicken strips. (I skipped this step.) Next, in a bowl submerge the chicken strips in buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you’d like). In another bowl combine about 1 ½ cups flour and 2 to 3 teaspoons of Lawry’s Seasoning Salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, add about ¼ to ½ cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.

Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat them thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating chicken strips until they are all ready to cook. When the oil is sufficiently heated, begin cooking the strips a few at a time. Cook them for about a minute and a half or so on each side. When golden and crispy, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!
