Having an easy recipe is the best and these pork fingers are just that, easy! With just a few ingredients that you probably have in the pantry, plus the buttermilk and eggs, you could be enjoying these chicken fried pork fingers tonight for dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless pork, sliced into 1/2″ long strips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups flour, divided
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- 1 Tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp crushed red peppers
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1-2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
- Using an electric skillet, or large cast iron pan, heat oil to 375°.
- Cut pork into 1/2 inch strips and place on a plate.
- While the oil is heating up, add one cup of flour into a large baggie then the remaining flour into another baggie with all of the seasonings. Shake to mix.
- Whisk eggs and buttermilk together in a bowl large enough for the pork strips.
- Once the oil is ready, place about 6-8 pork fingers into the baggie with the plain flour, seal and shake to coat.
- Next, add fingers to the egg mixture, then into the flour with the seasonings, then into the skillet.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides. Approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Once the first batch is cooked, place on a plate lined with paper towels and place into a preheated oven at 175° to keep warm while the rest of the pork fingers are being cooked.
- Repeat the coating process for the remaining pork.
- *For best results, make sure to coat the pork fingers right before going into the skillet.
