Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • peanut oil or vegetable or canola oil enough to fill a large heavy bottomed pot about 2 inch deep
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • 1 cup whiskey glaze more or less to taste
  • additional sesame seeds for garnish
  • minced fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet with paper towels and a wire rack nearby.
  2. Slice the chicken tenders lengthwise into halves. Set up a workspace with wax paper and two shallow bowls for breading and egg wash.
  3. Combine the flour, panko, sesame seeds, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in one bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the buttermilk.
  4. Coat each chicken strip first in the dry breading mixture, shake off excess, then dip thoroughly into the egg mixture letting excess drip back into the bowl.
  5. Return the strip to the breading mixture, pressing firmly to coat well, then place on the wax paper lined plate. Repeat for all strips.
  6. Fry the chicken strips in batches of up to five in the hot oil for 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway until golden and cooked through. Transfer cooked strips to the prepared wire rack.
  7. Toss the fried chicken strips gently in a bowl with the whiskey glaze just before serving.
  8. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and fresh parsley and serve with additional sauce on the side.
