Tyler Valenzuela
Great simple recipe for a newby deep fryer, thanks
Chad Powell
I just didn’t care for the taste, it was way too barbeque-y for my tastes.
Cheryl Jones
I’m not a chicken fryer by far. But the chicken was cook thoroughly (has ALWAYS been my issue) and it was crunchy. But that flour mixture could have used more seasoning. The outside was a lil bland but the meat itself was seasoned. I used Ranch seasoning for extra flavor. I love the buttermilk egg batter. I think that was the key to the crunchiness. And I coated with flour first, then batter, then flour again as suggested by another user. All in all I’m pleased and will used this recipe again and once I tweak the seasoning I’m sure I’ll bump this up to ??????????

I heated the oil to 375. The breading burned in under 1 minute.
Daniel Gay
This receipt was easy and delicious. The chicken was moist and flavorful. I would definitely make it again. Thank you!
Kimberly Burnett
Just made it – very disappointing. Hunks of the breading didn’t stay attacted and ended up burning to the bottom of the pan. Also takes a lot longer to cook the chicken through. No a complete disaster, as the chicken had a nice taste, even if no “fried” stuff around it.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! These are now a regular request in our household!! I use boneless skinless breasts and marinade for (almost) 24 hours. They are a huge hit!! The chicken strips require no dipping sauce at all and are moist and juicy. Thank you soooo much for this recipe!!

I followed the recipe as given to the letter. As soon as the hot oil (350 degrees) hits that batter the sugar from that BBQ sauce starts turning black, and then it turns to charcoal before the chicken is done. What a disaster. I had to peal the batter off it to get something the family could eat.
Matthew Medina
What a mess! I was so excited about this recipe, I followed the recipe to a ‘t’ but it burned, black burned, it was hard to flip with tongs because the breading would start coming off, the breading was burnt on the outside and the breading was not done on the inside. My husband said forget it and put the rest of chicken on the grill… Any advice on how to do this better next time, like I said, I was very excited about this recipe!

so messy
Dylan Davis
It was crunchy enough but I thought there would be more zip to it.
Grace Taylor
We Loved this chicken! Hubby couldn’t tell there there was BBQ sauce and worster sauce in the batter! I didn’t make any changes. Thanks for sharing!
Eric King
tase was really good but the batter didnt coat evenly an dwas a bit on the chewy side next time I will probibly only use one coating per piece to minimize this problem.
Mark Lopez
I have to say… This is AWESOME!!! I have always had trouble getting the batter to stick with my old recipe, but now… no problem. It isn’t as messy as some are saying, in fact I had very little mess at all. I also used boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cause that is what I had on hand) that I cut into strips. My family absolutely loved it, it also reheats great. I will definitely be making this more often.
Joshua Robinson
A bit too sweet for my husband and I. The kids liked it though. Maybe a different bbq sauce would help, but I won’t be making again.
Amy Hernandez
It was alright, could definitely taste the barbeque sauce and it was really difficult to coat because it needed a lot more flour mixture, otherwise it just turns into a dough like substance
Theodore Kelly
The taste of the batter was good, but the suggestion to dip them twice was not good. The first pan I made the batter was so thick that it wasn’t crispy all the way through and it would fall off. I made another pan though, dipping just once and they came out pretty good.
Gerald Stone
This is really yummy!
Melissa Mills
The taste was really good. As other reviewers said, my chicken ended up black, but mine wasn’t done on the inside. I used skinless, boneless chicken breasts, so I microwaved them to finish them. I will try again, but next time cut the breasts smaller.
Kayla Craig
This was a hit with the family. I never made fried chicken and this came out wonderful. I eliminated the three sauces the recipe called for. It just needed a bit more seasoning ( I guess if I added those three wet seasonings, the chiken would have been even better). Also, to fry chicken, the best thing is to let the oil heat up first or you’ll end up with a soggy mess and oily chicken. I usually flick a small drop of water intot he pan to indicate how hot it is and if its ready for the chicken. The breading on the chicken came out crunchy and perfect!
