Instructions
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, chopped chipotles, and all the seasonings. Add chicken strips, mix well, and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix flour with the same spice blend. Dredge each marinated chicken strip in the flour, dip back into the marinade, and coat again for a double dredge.
- Step 3
Heat oil to 175–180 °C (medium-high). Fry the tenders for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Step 4
In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, zest, salt, pepper, and parsley. Cook for 1 minute, then drizzle the warm mixture over the fried chicken.
- Step 5
In a bowl, mix sour cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
