What You'll Need

 

  • 1–2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup liquid from pickled jalapeño peppers
  • 4 tablespoons Pam's Prep Fiery Hot Seasoning, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Oil for frying

 

How to Make It

 

1. Marinate the Chicken:

  • Wash, dry, and cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, jalapeño liquid, and 2 tablespoons Pam's Prep Fiery Hot Seasoning.
  • Add chicken, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.

 

2. Prep the Flour Coating:

  • Remove chicken from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and the remaining 2 tablespoons seasoning.
  • Drizzle 3–4 tablespoons of the marinade into the flour mix and stir gently to create small flavorful lumps.

 

3. Fry the Chicken:

  • Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  • Dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture one at a time to prevent sticking.
  • Carefully add to the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet.
  • Fry for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcook.
  • Remove and place on a wire rack over paper towels to drain.
  • Repeat until all chicken is cooked. ENJOY!

Looking forward to making this, Pam. But I was expecting that you were going to make a dipping/fry sauce at the end. 🤷🏼‍♀️
