I highly recommend you try this recipe. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to make Spicy Fried Chicken Strips.
What is the definition of Spicy Fried Chicken Strips
The meaning of Spicy Fried Chicken Strips is:
”Strips cut out of chicken breast, that are prepared by coating them a flour, egg wash and breading before deep frying them golden brown”.
Spicy Fried Chicken Strips
This snack is popular with fast food chains. You have Chicken Fingers, Chicken Tenders, Chicken Strips, Chicken Fillets or Chicken Goujons. The Chicken Strips are typically longer than the fingers, often slightly thicker and have a nice crispy coating. The recipe consists of basic ingredients so that the chicken can be properly marinated. The marinade is important as the herbs really need to soak into the chicken. If you don’t do this, you will notice this in the taste.
After the marination, you will want to use different bowls. You need the first bowl as a flour layer, the second bowl as an egg wash and then another bowl with the breadcrumbs. You can use different breadcrumbs for this. The breadcrumbs ultimately determine how the chicken strips will look and how crispy it will be. This is actually up to you. For this recipe I had very fine grains myself. If you want more structure, larger grains work better.
The taste of the chicken strips is so good. They are spicy, this is due to the Tabasco. If you don’t like spicy, you could leave this out. If you like very spicy, you could also increase the amount of Tabasco! Below we will quickly proceed with the recipe.
