Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Season the strips with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Set up the Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the Chicken Strips
Take each seasoned chicken strip and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere. Repeat this process for all chicken strips.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable 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 meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken fingers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
