If the flour droplet turns brown after a few second, you will know that the oil is ready for frying. Place the chicken strips in the frying pan and turn them on each side until they are golden brown.

For the sauce, pour a bottle of a hot sauce of your choice, along with the butter into a pan and heat it. When the butter melts, mix the two and the sauce is done. Mix the cooked chicken pieces in the sauce. Serve with celery and blue cheese. Enjoy.
