For extra flavor, marinate the chicken strips in a bit of the barbecue sauce for at least 30 minutes before beginning the battering process. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken. Work in batches for best results. If you don't have mesquite seasoning, you can substitute with smoked paprika for a similar smoky flavor. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Battering Station: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, milk, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 2 tablespoons of black pepper until well combined. (Approximately 2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a separate large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, remaining 1/4 cup salt, 5 teaspoons of black pepper, minced garlic, and mesquite seasoning mix. (Approximately 3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Heat the Oil: Fill a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok halfway with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 365°F (180°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accuracy. (Approximately 10-15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Coat the Chicken: Using a fork, dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the flour adheres. For an extra crispy coating, repeat the process – dip back into the egg and then back into the flour. (Approximately 15-20 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil. (Approximately 20-25 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly butter a 12x20-inch glass baking dish or two 9x13-inch baking dishes. (Approximately 5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Assemble and Bake: Pour a thin layer of barbecue sauce into the prepared baking dish(es) to coat the bottom. Arrange the fried chicken strips in a single layer over the sauce. Pour the remaining barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. (Approximately 5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Bake: Place the baking dish(es) in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and the chicken is heated through. (Approximately 10-15 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this baked BBQ fried chicken with your favorite sides!
