Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast sliced into strips
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1-2 Eggs whisked
  • 1-2 slices Sourdough Bread or ½ cup Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup TRUFF Spicy Mayo
  • Avocado Oil for frying
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • Flaky Salt to finish

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet
  • Shallow breading bowls
  • Food processor (for breadcrumbs)

Method
 

Bread the Chicken
  1. Blitz sourdough slices in a food processor to create a coarse breadcrumb mixture. Set up a breading station with shallow bowls: one for flour, one for whisked eggs, one for breadcrumbs.
  2. Working one piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour (shake off excess), then dip into egg (let excess drip off), and coat thoroughly in sourdough breadcrumbs. Press lightly to help crumbs adhere. Place breaded pieces on a plate or baking sheet.
Fry the Tenders
  1. Add 1 inch of avocado oil to a cast iron skillet over medium heat and heat to 350–375°F.
  2. Fry tenders in batches until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F), about 3–4 minutes per side depending on size.
  3. Remove and drain on a paper towel–lined plate. Immediately season with kosher salt and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
Serve
  1. Serve hot with TRUFF spicy mayo for dunking.

Notes

Storage: best straight out of the fryer while the crust is still crackling. Leftovers keep in the fridge for a day or two, reheat in the oven or air fryer to re-crisp, the microwave will make them soggy. The Truff spicy mayo keeps in the fridge for about a week.
