Chicken Preparation
- 1

Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 5
Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
