½ tsp ground paprika

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp garlic powder

½ lemon juice only

1 c buttermilk

freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the dry coating:

4 tbsp plain bread crumbs panko or regular both work

1 ¼ c white flour

½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp ground paprika

2-3 tsp garlic powder

½ tbsp salt or less to taste

½ tsp ground black pepper

For the wet coating:

⅔ c buttermilk

2 large Eggs

For the pan:

⅓ c butter

Directions:

To Marinate the Chicken:

In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the marinate aside from the chicken. Stir until well mixed.

Add the chicken strips and toss until well coated with the sauce.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then place it inside the fridge to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

To Prepare:

Prepare the oven and preheat to 205 degrees C or 410 degrees F.

Place a rimmed roasting pan inside the preheating oven.

To Bake:

In a mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined.

In another mixing bowl, add ⅔ cup of buttermilk and eggs. Whisk until well combined.

Dip each chicken strip into the flour mix, then into the egg mixture. Shake off any excess.

Remove the pan from the oven, then add the butter and allow it to melt.

Arrange the coated chicken strips into the prepared pan. Make sure to leave a small space between each chicken.

Place them inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes.

Turn the chicken strips over and bake the other sides for 10 more minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes at room temperature.

Serve warm and enjoy!
