-
In a bowl combine the chicken strips with all the marination ingredients, mix until evenly coated, cover and set aside or refrigerate overnight.
-
To make the batter: In a bowl mix flour, garlic, chilli, salt and pepper. Add the ketchup and whole milk stir until the mixture is evenly clumpy.
-
For the seasoning flour: In a large deep plate, season the flour with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Heat oil in a deep fry pan over medium high heat. Set a plate with a paper towel next to the stove. Drench the chicken one at a time into the batter, then toss into the seasoned flour and place in the hot oil without crowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on each side.
-
Note: If using only the back of the chicken breast which is the tender part and we get only 2 pieces in each chicken. It may take about 3 minutes to cook because this part of the chicken is really tender. What I usually do is save those 2 pieces in a ziplock bag. Each time I use a whole chicken until the bag is full then I make this crispy chicken tenders and everyone is happy!
