Method

Preparation of Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.

Cooking the Chicken Fingers

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    Working in batches, add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Preparing Optional Sides

  1. 6

    Prepare Side Dishes

    If serving with French fries, cook them according to package instructions. For carrot sticks and cucumber slices, wash and cut them into sticks and slices, respectively. To prepare sweet corn, either microwave or boil until tender.
