Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Breading Mixture

Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Parmesan cheese if using. Mix the seasonings into the breadcrumbs thoroughly.

Breading the Chicken
First, coat each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken fingers and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
