Chicken strips (like at KFC)
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. The meat will be more tender if it sits in the marinade longer. When pan-frying, the strips absorb more oil, so I prefer a deep fryer. It turns out very tender and juicy, and paired with a delicious sauce — simply extraordinary. Serve with herbs and sauce.

7. You can fry the strips in a skillet or in a deep fryer; the main thing is to have enough oil. Cook for 10–12 minutes until golden, then place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Done!
