Chicken Fingers Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken fingers on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    Carefully add the breaded chicken fingers to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook 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 paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
