Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast fillets into strips about 1 inch wide. Season the strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

Bread the Chicken
Dredge each seasoned chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is fully coated and set aside.

Make the Buffalo Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
