Ingredients

• oil for deep frying
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 3 skinless , boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
• 0.25 cups hot pepper sauce
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients and heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. 2 Combine flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
3. 3 Whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl.
4. 4 Dip each piece of chicken in egg mixture, then roll in flour mixture. Repeat so that each piece of chicken is double-coated. Refrigerate breaded chicken for 20 minutes.
5. 5 Fry chicken in hot oil in batches. Cook until golden brown and juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6. 6 Combine hot sauce and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat sauce in the microwave until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Pour sauce over fried chicken; mix to coat.
7. 7 Serve and enjoy!
