Bread the Chicken

Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully place the breaded chicken fingers into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Cool
Once cooked, remove the chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
