"I found the original recipe posted on the "net" by Jennifer Segal who has a blog called " Once Upon A Chef ". As I was reading the recipe, I felt it called for too much oil and it didn't have enough seasonings in the breading.And the original recipe used chicken tenders,but I prefer chicken breasts cut into strips.So a few changes were made to mine and my SO's personal preferences. I think the way that the breading was made,makes this a very different way to do chicken.Please plan ahead, this DOES need time to marinate overnight or at least 4 hours. " Prep Time " doesn't include the marinating time.If you want to use this as an appetizer,just cut the strips in half before adding to the marinade. Posted to " ZAZZ " on 10/9/2014.
