Alright, folks, let’s dive into this garlic butter chicken strips fried thing I whipped up the other day. It’s super easy, and honestly, it’s a real crowd-pleaser. I’m not a professional chef, just a guy who loves to cook and eat good food, so if I can do it, you can too.
First, I gathered all my ingredients. You know, nothing fancy. I got some chicken breasts and sliced them into strips. Not too thin, not too thick, just right so they cook evenly. Then, I grabbed some flour, salt, pepper, and a bunch of garlic powder – I mean, the more garlic the better, right? And of course, butter. Loads of it.
Prepping the Chicken
- I seasoned the flour mixture in a bowl. Mixed it all together. Nothing complicated here.
- Then, I dredged each chicken strip in this flour mix. Made sure they were nicely coated.
After that, I melted a good amount of butter in a big frying pan. While the butter was getting all bubbly, I minced up some fresh garlic. You can never have too much garlic, I always say! Once the butter was hot, I tossed in the garlic and let it sizzle for a bit until it was fragrant. The smell alone was amazing.
Frying Time
- Now, the fun part. I placed the chicken strips into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. You want them to get nice and crispy, not all steamed up.
- I fried each side for a few minutes until they were golden brown and looked delicious.
Once they were cooked through, I took them out and put them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra grease. And that’s it! Easy peasy. I served these babies up with some dipping sauces – honey mustard, BBQ, ranch, you name it. They were a hit! Everyone was asking for more, and they disappeared pretty fast. I’d say this little cooking adventure was a success.
I’ll for sure be making these garlic butter chicken strips again. Maybe next time I’ll try adding some different spices or maybe a little bit of heat. The possibilities are endless, really. Cooking is all about experimenting and having fun, right? So, give it a try, you won’t regret it!
