Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into tender-sized strips.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
