Cooking Instructions

2 hrs
  1. 1

    30 Minutes Before Cooking: Prepare the chicken by tenderizing & cutting to your liking. Have pieces soak in a mixture of pickle juice and Tabasco.

  2. 2

    Heat up your oil to 375 degrees. Create your Dry and Wet mixes in separate bowls. Drain your chicken, pat it dry.

  3. 3

    Start by covering the chicken in your dry mix, then into the wet mix, and a final time into the dry mixture.

  4. 4

    Place 4-5 coated tenderloins into the fryer basket, let cook for 2 minutes OR light brown. They'll darken when drying, more time for breasts, less time for thinner strips.

  5. 5

    After removing the chicken to dry, while fresh out of the fryer add salt, and the "serving touches" If reheating- add spices into the pan's oil then reheat.
