INGREDIENTS

  • Batter

    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 💧 1 cup water
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons salt
    • 2 tablespoons black pepper

  • Dry Mix

    • 6 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ¼ cup salt
    • 5 teaspoons black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
    • 2 tablespoons dry mesquite flavored seasoning mix

  • Cooking oil

    • 4 cups oil for frying, or as needed

  • Chicken and sauce

    • 🍗 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
    • 🧈 1 teaspoon butter
    • 1 (12 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce

STEPS

1

Set up a batter station: Whisk together eggs, water, milk, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 tablespoons pepper in a large bowl with a fork until smooth. Stir together flour, 1/4 cup salt, 5 teaspoons pepper, garlic, and mesquite seasoning in another large bowl.

2

Fill a large heavy skillet or wok halfway full with oil. Heat to 365°F (180°C).

3

Coat chicken in batter: Use a fork to pick up one chicken strip at a time and dip it into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, back into the egg mixture, and into the flour mixture again.

4

Place coated strips into the hot oil to fry. Cook in batches without crowding. Once chicken is browned on one side, flip over and brown on the other side.

5

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Butter a 12x20-inch glass baking dish, or two 9x13-inch baking dishes.

6

Pour enough barbecue sauce into the prepared dish to coat the bottom. Arrange fried chicken strips in rows in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over the top.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is caramelized onto the chicken, 10 to 15 minutes.
