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. 🤷🏼♀️
