Golden, ultra-crispy buttermilk fried chicken strips served alongside perfectly seasoned French fries and a rich, tangy ketchup dipping sauce.

Ingredients for Crispy Chicken & Fries

• 250g chicken breast or tenderloins
• 2 medium potatoes, cut into fries
• 1/2 cup buttermilk & 1 egg (for coating)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour & cornstarch
• 1 tsp paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder
• 2 tbsp premium tomato ketchup

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Cut the chicken into even strips. Marinate in buttermilk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for at least 15 minutes.
2. Dredge each chicken strip in a seasoned flour and cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess for maximum crispiness.
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 175°C. Fry the potato fries until golden and crispy, then remove and season with salt.
4. In the same hot oil, fry the coated chicken strips for 5-6 minutes until the crust is deeply golden-brown and the chicken is fully cooked.
5. Drain the chicken on paper towels. Plate the hot crispy strips alongside the fries, garnish with a touch of fresh parsley, and serve with a side bowl of ketchup.
