Chicken Fingers Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken fingers from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
