Heat the Oil

Bread the Chicken Strips
Remove the marinated chicken strips from the refrigerator. Take each strip and dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breading.

Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
