In a bowl, mix seasoned salt into the flour.

Add buttermilk to the flour and combine until you have coarse crumbs.

Coat each chicken strip in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks.

Place coated chicken strips onto a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 325°F.
