Directions for Dedos de Pollo

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up flour (seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder), beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    First, dip each chicken strip in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
