Ingredients
Marinade
- 1 ½ lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
- ¾ cup buttermilk 6.22 fl.oz | 177 ml
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
Breading
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 2 oz | 59 g
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- ¾ tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
You will need
- vegetable oil to fry
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast in bite-sized chunks. Add in a medium bowl with buttermilk and hot sauce. Stir and make sure all chunks are covered. Cover with plastic and marinade for 1 hour
- In a plate, mix panko bread crumbs, flour, cayenne pepper, garlic, baking powder, salt and pepper.
- Remove chicken bites one by one and coat with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to make sure the chicken is coated on each side.
- Heat a deep pan with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Work in batches. When the oil is very hot, fry the chicken until golden brown and cook through. It will take about 5 minutes to cook completely through. Remove and place on a large plate with kitchen paper to absorb the excess of oil. * Adjust the heat while frying. If too hot, decrease it a bit then increase it again
- Serve hot with your favorite dip.
