3.In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk, soy sauce, and hot sauce.

4.Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

5.Dredge each duck strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

6.Dip the floured duck strips into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
