Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sticks

Buttermilk Chicken Sticks

Ingredients:

• 200 grams chicken breast, cut into sticks
• 100 ml fresh milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice (let sit for 15 minutes to curdle)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 150 grams all-purpose flour (I recommend using Putri brand for less saltiness)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Begin by slicing the chicken breast into stick-shaped pieces or strips.
2. In a bowl, combine the fresh milk and lemon juice, and let it sit for 15 minutes to create a buttermilk mixture.
3. Add the minced garlic, salt, dried parsley, and freshly ground black pepper to the buttermilk mixture. Stir well to combine.
4. Place the chicken sticks into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
5. After marinating, coat each chicken stick with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
6. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
7. Fry the coated chicken sticks in the hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure they are cooked through.
8. Remove the chicken sticks from the pan and drain on paper towels.
9. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious buttermilk chicken sticks! 😊
