Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into strips.

Step 2

Put the strips in a large bowl or a ziplock bag and add buttermilk. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or ideally overnight.

Step 3

When the chicken is marinated, prepare your breading stations. Prepare 3 bowls and put them on the counter.

Step 4

In the first one, mix flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and white pepper.

Step 5

In the second one, whisk the eggs.

Step 6

Then, put the cornflakes into a ziplock bag and crush them until very small. Add the crushed cornflakes to the third bowl.

Step 7

Take one piece of chicken at a time and coat with the flour mixture, then the beaten egg and finally crushed cornflakes. Press hard so that they stick to the chicken.

Step 8

Heat the sunflower oil (or any other oil that has a high smoking point) in a pot or pan until it bubbles on a medium high heat (7/10 if it’s induction gives the best results). When it bubbles, add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes depending on yours strips thickness. Don’t overcrowd your pan and cook in batches!

Step 9

Transfer the chicken to a paper-lined rack or plates and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
