Crispy Chicken Strips

You always have those lazy days when you eat something simple, quick and tasty, and we all know homemade is best made. these quick and easy fried chicken strips will have your mouth watering in no time.

Ingredients:
 •4 boneless chicken breasts
 •Plain flour
 •Garlic powder
 •Black pepper 
 •Meat seasoning 
 •Chicken seasoning 
 •1 garlic clove
 •2 eggs 
 •Bbq sauce 
 • Cornmeal

You'll also need:
 •A food bag or a clean plastic bag
Method:
 • First wash your chicken breast with some vinegar, lime juice or lemon juice. Then place on a chopping board and slice roughly 1cm thick. (Don't measure a centimetre, just approximately)
 • Once chopped place your chicken breast back into your bowl. You will now finely chip 1 garlic clove and add to your chicken.
 • To your bowl now add Chicken seasoning, Meat seasoning, Garlic powder & Black pepper.
 • With clean hands, gently rub your seasoning into your chicken and leave to the side.
 • Now place your pot on the stove and add oil. ( just enough to cover your chicken strips) leave this to heat up whilst you prepare your coating.
 • in a food bag or clean plastic bag, add 2 cups of plain flour, 5 table spoons of cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of black pepper & 1 table spoon of all purpose seasoning. Use a fork to slowly mix these spices together inside the bag to create a tasty coating for your chicken pieces.
 • In a separate bowl, crack two eggs, removing the egg eye and whisk with either a fork or a hand whisk. To the eggs add a pinch a black pepper (this is to cut rawness).
 • Once fully whisked, pour the egg mixture over your chicken and gently mix this together. Making sure all your strips are covered.
 • Few by few place your strips into the flour mixture, slowly shaking the bag as you go along. (Tip: shaking the bag slowly keeps the mixture loose, gets everything coated and stops the meat from sticking)
 • Now all your meat has been placed into your mixture. And coated it's time to fry.
 • One by one add your chicken to your oil slowly. Place just enough inside the pot to ensure all your pieces cook evenly, turning once to ensure the golden coating all over.

*Tip: covering your chicken inside the pot for the first 45 seconds allows them to cook thoroughly. After that, remove the lid and let them open fry.

  •One the strips are completely golden brown, remove them and place on some grease proof paper, let them cool and then enjoy.

* For variation I have used some of "Purse's Likkle BBQ Sauce to coat some of my strips. BBQ SAUCE RECIPE COMING SOON......
