Instructions
- Cut chicken into tenders
- Whisk together eggs and buttermilk in a medium sized bowl
- In another bowl mix together flour, salt and pepper, and paprika
- In yet another bowl add Panko bread crumbs
- Dip chicken into egg batter, then into flour mixture. Shake off excess flour
- Dip same piece of chicken back into egg batter.
- Then dip chicken, and roll in Panko
- Set aside, do this until all chicken is coated
- In a large pan heat oil on medium heat, you don't want your oil too hot or it will burn the outside of the chicken without cooking the inside, so set your heat to medium, no higher, if the oil starts to smoke at all, turn it down.
- Once the oil is hot, add chicken to the pan.
- Let chicken cook 5-7 minutes, then flip to other side and cook an additional 5-7 minutes depending on thickness of chicken. Use a meat thermometer or cut into thickest part of chicken to test doneness.
- Remove from oil, and serve hot with dipping sauce, salad, fries, or your choice of sides.
Spicy Asian BBQ Sauce
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. If you do not want it too spicy, use less Sriracha.
