Chicken lips is a favorite food for many. From little kids to adults, it can be a popular food choice. Want a simple chicken lips recipe that tastes delicious? Then look no farther. With a little bit of time and not very many ingredients, you too can prepare these for your family.

When it comes to sauce, I like mine without any at all. The breading made from this recipe gives it a great flavor already. So, I don't include sauce in this recipe, but I do include some suggestions for those that enjoy having sauce.

These chicken lips look a lot like chicken tenders, and they are delicious. Especially with the breading. And they are very simple to make.

Chicken Lips Recipe

Items needed

When preparing this recipe, you do not need a lot of items. Which then makes it nice for cleanup too. Here is what you need.

Large bowl or mixing bowl
A smaller bowl
Cutting board
A large skillet
Tongs
Serving platter or tray
Paper towels

Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil (or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil).
1 pound of frozen or fresh boneless chicken breasts
¼ a quart buttermilk (1 cup buttermilk)
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

I like to try and make things as simple as possible when cooking. So, when I make this chicken lips recipe, simple it is.

Add the flour, salt and the pepper into a large bowl. (You may prefer more than a teaspoon salt and teaspoon pepper).
Pour the buttermilk into a smaller bowl.
On a cutting board, slice your fresh boneless chicken breasts into thin long strips. (I cut them horizontally first).
Dip each strip individually into the buttermilk.
Combine chicken and flour mixture by dredging the strip through it.
Set aside on a paper towel.
Continue with the remaining strips of chicken.
Put olive oil in a large skillet.
Over medium heat, using the tongs, place the chicken lips into the skillet.
Cook the chicken lips evenly on both sides, until there is no pink. I have found that medium-high heat tends to cook the outer part too quickly.

Dip

Now that you have made your delicious chicken lips, do you serve them plain or with a chicken lip dip? If you would prefer to have a sauce for them, here are some to consider.

Hot sauce
Buffalo sauce
BBQ sauce
Sour cream dipping sauce
Ranch dressing
Cheese sauce

Added notes

If you would prefer you could buy a whole chicken and slice it into the sizes, you would like.
You could cut the chicken into small pieces like chicken chunks.
If you are a fan of cheese, you may like cheese sauce drizzled over them. Making for cheesy chicken lips.
Another option is to serve chicken lips on a bun or on bread.

Sides

These chicken lips would pair well with several things. Here are some ideas.

Green onions and celery for dipping.
Cherry tomatoes
Yellow bell pepper, red peppers and a cup ranch dip.
Red bell pepper and tortilla chips.

Money and time saver

When I buy fresh boneless chicken breasts from the meat counter it saves me money. I save money by only purchasing the amount of chicken that I need. Rather than buying a larger package which is more expensive. For this recipe I only used two chicken breasts. I compared the prices at my local store when I purchased them. The two-chicken breasts were $4.59. A larger and prepackaged pack was almost $14.00. Yes, it did have more chicken in it, but I did not need it. I saved almost $9.50.
I have a time saving tip when making this chicken lips recipe. I slice the fresh boneless chicken breasts horizontally. This helps the chicken to cook faster. And it also allows for me to get more chicken strips out of it.
