Chicken Strips Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

Slice the chicken breasts into strips that are about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

Bread the Chicken Strips

Take each chicken strip and coat it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Fry the Chicken Strips

Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Drain and Serve

Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
