You have got to love anything that good!
I just started brining some meats before cooking, and what a difference even a little time in the salt water can make!
Started with ckicken strips/tenders.
brine consisted of 1 gallon water, 1/3 cup sea salt, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup honey. chill for a couple of hours at least.
I fried them in canola oil after coating them in a "breading" made from cracker, 1/4 cup flour, 1 tbls of hot chili powder and 1 tbls of crushed pepper flakes. Put these all in a food processor and grind to a fine consistancy. Dredge chicken in breading and drop (carefully) into hot oil.
They will cook to golden brown in less than 2 minutes, depending on what you consider "golden brown".
After having my tenders, I can't see buying store pre-cooked versions ever again!
Now I have to try it with striper fillets!!!
