Crispy Chicken Strips

1. In a bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken strips, making sure they are fully submerged. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off.
4. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.
5. Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
