KFC’s menu once included two strips of their signature fried chicken wrapped in a tortilla, with lettuce, tomato and a kicky black pepper mayonnaise. It was a simple, tidy fried chicken snack, and the sauce elevated it into something really tasty.

4. Pat the chicken strips dry if necessary and add half about of them to the plastic zip bag with the flour mixture (so you aren’t crowding the bag). Seal them and shake until the strips are all evenly coated, then remove them and set aside. Repeat for the other half of the strips

5. One at a time, dip each strip in the milk and egg and return to the flour mixture. When you have about four strips ready, seal and shake again until the strips are completely coated

6. Add the prepared strips to the fryer. Don’t add more than four at a time, because it will crowd the oil, and stir gently every few minutes to prevent them from sticking

7. Fry until golden and crispy, and fully cooked. This should be about 10 minutes but will vary depending on the oil heat and the size of the strips. Chicken should always reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Allow cooked strips to drain on paper towels

9. Repeat until all of the chicken is cooked

If you’ve fried chicken before (or fried anything, really) you’ll know that it isn’t an exact science. Go by the temperature of the meat, not the time.
