Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Coat the Chicken Strips

    Take each chicken strip and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken Strips

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the homemade chicken strips hot with your choice of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
