Ingredients
Scale

- Vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

Instructions
- Trim chicken breasts and slice into 1/2 inch wide by 3 inch long strips for easy frying and dipping.
- In a bowl, soak chicken strips in buttermilk seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the crispy breading mixture.
