Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, cornstarch, salt, pepper and chipotle peppers.

Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. Place the chicken in the batter and let it sit for at least a couple hours in the fridge.

Pour some panko breadcrumbs in a shallow plate.

Heat the oil in a large skillet.

Coat each piece of chicken with breadcrumbs, add more breadcrumbs as needed, and fry on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Place on paper napkins to soak up some of the oil. Repeat with all chicken pieces. Only add a few pieces of chicken to the skillet at a time, so the chicken turns out crispy.
