Method

Preparing the Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken strips on a plate.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, frying until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparing the Fries

  1. 5

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips for fries.

  2. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a separate large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.
