Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk. Dip chicken strips first in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture to coat evenly.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken strips and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
