πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

 

 

Step 1: Prep the Chicken and Marinade

 

  1. If using chicken breasts, slice them lengthwise into strips, about 1-inch thick. If using tenderloins, simply trim any visible white tendon.
  2. In a medium bowl or a sealable plastic bag, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken strips to the buttermilk mixture, making sure they are fully submerged.
  4. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. The buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken and ensures the coating sticks.1
