Crispy fried buffalo chicken Strips

These homemade pepperoncini juice marinated crispy fried Buffalo chicken strips are a take on the famous bone in Buffalo chicken wings that originated at the Anchor bar in Buffalo. The anchor bar is also where I met my husband . They are melt in your mouth tender and guaranteed to become a family favorite.

The first place we had was a hole in the wall submarine sandwich and chicken wing shop, that was literarily held together with duct tape. But the food was good and the lines long. We sold chicken wings by the dozen all the way up to buckets of wings in a spicy, medium or mild buffalo sauce.

What I use to made these crispy fried Buffalo chicken strips

I use skinless boneless chicken breast and slice them into strips when I make these crispy fried Buffalo chicken strips. You can use chicken tenders. Then I let them marinate in pepperoncini juice. You can use pickle juice if that’s what you have on hand. Then I dip the chicken first in the egg then in the bread crumb mixture. There is no need to flour the chicken, this is an unnecessary step.

I use canola oil for frying, you can use vegetable or peanut oil or combinations of these oils . Fill your pan with about 2 to 3 inches of oil for deep frying. For the hot sauce I have always used Frank’s Hot Sauce.

Enjoy your crispy golden fried Buffalo chicken strips!!!
