Method
Preparing the Chicken Fingers
- 1
Slice the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.
- 2
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Making the Dipping Sauce

Combine Ingredients

Prepare the French Fries
