Chicken Preparation
- 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika, ensuring they are coated evenly.
Breading

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the two eggs until well mixed. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Take each chicken strip, dip it into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated, then shake off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken strip with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Cooking
- 4
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken fingers for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

After frying, transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. If baking, place the breaded chicken strips on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
