Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each cut into 3 strips
  • 5 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons paprika

Instructions

  • Soak chicken in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours. Preheat oven to 400 F°. Place the butter on a large baking sheet and place in the oven to melt. Once butter is melted, carefully remove the baking sheet from oven.
  • Add flour, panko bread crumbs, seasoning salt, salt , pepper and paprika in a large ziplock bag. Add 3 pieces of chicken at a time and shake to coat.
  • Place coated chicken strips, over the melted butter on the baking sheet. Be sure to leave spaces between each chicken strip. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, flip chicken with a pair of tongs, then bake another 10 to 12 minutes or until inside is cooked through. (165 degrees F.)
  • Serve immediately and enjoy! ♥

Notes

*Be sure to space chicken apart on baking sheet so the outside gets crispy!
