Although deep-frying requires cooking in a lot of oil, very little is absorbed by the chicken. The hot oil sears the exterior, sealing in juices and keeping out most of the fat in this delicious Buffalo Chicken Strips with Blue Cheese Salad recipe. It's just the thing to celebrate the Super Bowl or to serve at your next game night.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and 2 teaspoons water.

  • In small batches, dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in egg mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Dredge chicken in flour again. Place on floured sheet.

  • In a large (5-quart) saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer (a pinch of flour should sizzle when dropped in the oil).

  • Add half the chicken; cook until golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Return oil to 350 degrees. Repeat with remaining chicken.

  • Toss chicken strips with reserved sauce (reheated if necessary) to coat. Serve with Blue Cheese Salad.

Cook's Notes

A deep-fry thermometer is the best way to monitor the temperature of the oil. Adjust burner heat during cooking to maintain a steady temperature.

I pan-friend and used extra firm tofu instead of chicken. Freeze tofu overnight to give it an even "meatier" texture. Add a healthy amount of cornstarch to your dredging mixture, or otherwise make pure cornstarch the second dredge. Crispy tofu rules!

Has anyone tried not deep frying? I wonder how they would turn out baked or panfried? They sound yummy ;)

Love these. We added 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the sauce (for a more traditional Buffalo sauce) and loved it. The salad is a wonderful complement, too.

I've made this three times, and it's been a winner each time. We absolutely love the sauce. While it's great poured on the chicken (I make extra sauce), we also like to dip it in the sauce then in the blue cheese dressing...yummy!

This is a great recipe for "wings". I added a little water to the sauce so that it coated the chicken more easily. I also found that leftovers heat wonderfully. I reserved half of the fried chicken when I first made this recipe. The next night I reheated the fried chicken in a 325 degree oven. Once it was heated, I added the fried chicken to the sauce. My husband and I actually thought it was better the next night! This is a keeper.
